If parents with hemophilia have a child Will that child have hemophilia?

If both parents have x-linked hemophilia, the father's genotype would be XhY and the mother's genotype would be XhXh, which is astronomically rare. If this did happen, all of their children would inherit x-linked hemophilia.
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.

∙ 12y agoActually it is not 0%. You can have no trace of hemophilia in your family, but you can have a genetic mutation and become either a carrier of or actually have hemophilia. I'm not sure what the odds are of having a genetic mutation (although they are probably pretty low) I do know that the odds are NOT 0%.
That is correct, and on top of that there is a 100% chance that the daughters of a male with hemophilia will be at least carriers of the mutation. It is not uncommon for female "carriers" to have lowered clotting abilities and show signs of hemophilia themselves.

Could two phenotypically normal parents have a child with Hemophilia A?
XhXh - with hemophilia XhXH- carrier of hemophilia
Which of the parents can pass the allele for hemophilia to a daughter?
Both can.
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".
Can fish get hemophilia?
Yes - there are dogs with hemophilia. German Shepards in Europe with hemophilia can be traced back to one dog: Canto von der Wienerau. For more informationon hemophilia and dogs: http://mydogfluffy.com/faq.htm Mice with hemophilia are used to research hemophilia medication and a cure for hemophilia.
What is the nickname for hemophilia?
hemophilia B is also known as Christmas disease because Stephen Christmas was the first patient with the disease, and hemophilia A is just known as classic hemophilia.
If both parents are carriers what will the child be?
When a recessive trait is inherited from both parents, it will be expressed. If the trait is hemophilia, the child will be a hemophiliac.
Should parents get tested for hemophilia before having a child?
Yes. Parents can be carriers of MANY different diseases.
A woman with hemophilia and a man without hemophilia get married. What are the chances that their first child will have hemophilia?
There is no chance that the child will have hemophilia even if the spouse has hemophilia. Any girls the couple has will be carriers if the spouse has hemophilia.
What A woman with hemophilia and a men without hemophilia get married . what are the chances that their first child will have hemophilia?
50%
Can hemophilia be detected in the child before birth?
yes hemophilia can be detected before birth
Could two phenotypically normal parents have a child with Hemophilia A?
XhXh - with hemophilia XhXH- carrier of hemophilia
What whoud be the result of a normal women having a child with a hemophilia men?
All Girls will be carriers of Hemophilia and all Males will be unaffected (they won't have Hemophilia).
Which of the parents can pass the allele for hemophilia to a daughter?
Both can.

Can you get a test if you are pregnant to see if your child has hemophilia?
It is possible to diagnose Hemophilia in the fetus during pregnancy by demonstrating the abnormal gene.
Is hemophilia co dominant or dominant?
It is very much recessive with only one exception, which is that there is a large portion of women who simply carry the trait but dont actually have it. If you are to procreate with a female carrier than your chances of having a hemophiliac child are still not very high. You can find all the info you need by using a Punnett Square method to figure out the chances of hemophiliac children with 2 parents.
Did Stacy Romanov and her sisters have hemophilia?
Grand Duchess ANASTASIA and her sisters were probably carriers of the hemophilia gene but did not suffer from the effects of hemophilia. Males suffer from hemophilia. In rare cases girls do suffer but that is only when both parents carry the mutated gene
