How often does hemophilia?
Hemophilia occurs in approximately 1 in every 5,000 male births. Females can be carriers, symptomatic, or full hemophiliacs themselves and should in theory have a slightly higher prevalence of the genetic trate. It would be safe to say that more than 1 in 5000 people born, cary the genes for hemophilia. Roughly 1 in 10,000 births are males with hemophilia.
What protein is affected in hemophilia?
fart on dogs
What is the percentage of a person that can have hemophilia?
Hemophilia primarily affects males, with approximately 1 in 5,000 male births diagnosed with the condition. Women can be carriers of the gene, but they are less likely to exhibit symptoms due to having two X chromosomes, which can mitigate the effects. The percentage of the general population affected by hemophilia is around 0.01% to 0.02% for males, while carrier rates for females are higher, estimated at about 1 in 1,000.
What mechanism of hemostasis is affected in hemophilia?
The Extrinsic Pathway
What chromosome number is hemophilia on?
Hemophilia is a Sex-linked genetic disorder. It is found on the X chromosome of chromosome 23.A carrier for Hemophilia(represented by H(dominant) or h(recessive)) would look like this:XHXh(Female)*Males are not carriers for hemophilia-They are either affected or they're not*An affected person would look like this:XhXh(Female) XhY(Male)Someone who is neither a carrier nor affected would look like this:XHXH(Female) XHY(Male)
A baby daughter is born with hemophilia what is the genotype of her father?
Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder, meaning the gene responsible for the condition is located on the X chromosome. Since the baby daughter has hemophilia, she must have inherited one affected X chromosome from her father. Therefore, the father must have the genotype X^hY, where X^h represents the X chromosome carrying the hemophilia gene, indicating that he is affected by the condition.
If you know a woman has hemophilia what can you infer about her parents genetype?
Her father has to have hemophilia as well, and the mother is a carrier or also has hemophilia. So if we pretend that the hemophilia gene is "x", you need to have "xx" to have hemophilia. The father must have the genotype "Yx" and the mother has the have "Xx" or "xx".
What are the affected parts of the body hemophilia?
The blood is affected. The blood of a person with Hemophila lacks the clotting factor, so people with it are "Free Bleeders."
How many people get hemophilia a year?
You have to be born with hemophilia, it is not something people can "catch".
How many children would have hemophilia if the female was a carrier of hemophilia and male was normal?
Hemophilia is passed down from mother to son. It is extremely rare for a woman to have hemophilia. It is necessary, though, for a woman to be a carrier of the disorder for her son to acquire this disorder. Females have two X chromosomes whereas males only have one. When a boy is born, he takes one X chromosome from his mother and one Y chromosome from his father. Therefore, he can only get hemophilia through his mother. Example One: Mother(Carrier)+Father(Non-Affected)=50% chance of their son acquiring the disorder and 50% chance of their daughter being a carrier. Example Two: Mother(Non-Affected)+Father(Hemophiliac)=All sons will be non-affected and all daughters will be carriers.
What sense organ is affected by hemophilia?
Hemophilia is actually the lacking of specific proteins in the blood. The liver normally produces these proteins (called clotting factors) but in people with hemophilia it does not function normally, either not producing or produces non funtioning versions of one or more of these clotting factor proteins
What allele is passed to a offspring male if mother has hemophilia?
Hemophilia is typically an X-linked recessive condition. If a mother has hemophilia, she carries two copies of the hemophilia allele on her X chromosomes (since females have two X chromosomes). Therefore, any male offspring will inherit one of her X chromosomes, which will carry the hemophilia allele, leading to him being affected by the condition. The male will inherit his Y chromosome from his father, which does not carry the hemophilia gene.
