Which hemophilia disorder is genetic?

i believe all types of haemophilia are genetic although i am not sure. but i do know that CLASSIC HAEMOPHILIA is a genetic disorder Haemophilia A and B are both genetic. Haemophilia A (which is the most common) occurs when your blood lacks a clotting agent called factor 8. Haemophilia B occurs when you lack factor 9 in your blood. There is also acquired Haemophilia, this occurs when the immune system starts attacking clotting agents within the blood, this usually occurs in elderly people. Both forms of genetic haemophilia mostly occur in males, it rarely occurs in females. Unfortunately there is no cure but it is quite easily controlled with injections of the missing clotting agent.

Why would a person who receives genetic therapy for a disorder still be able to pass on the disorder to his or her children?

No, because this genetic disorder occurs because the parents are heterozygous, they don't show any symptoms. However, if each pqarent passes the recessive allele to the child, the child inherits both recessive alleles and will have a recssive genetic disorder, so it doesnt matter if you have a gene transfer because, the new gene is not yours, so you children may have it. xoxo
