Royal Hemophilia is a reference to Hemophilia B, also known as Factor IX (9) deficiency. This is a genetic disorder that can be inherited. Also near 30% of the Hemophilia B cases result from spontaneous mutations and are not inherited at all. That being said, once the mutation has occurred, that individual can pass the mutation on.

What is the nickname for hemophilia?
The nickname for hemophilia is "the royal disease" because it was prevalent in European royal families due to the genetic inheritance pattern of the disorder. Hemophilia is a rare genetic bleeding disorder that impairs the blood's ability to clot properly, leading to prolonged bleeding and easy bruising. It is caused by a deficiency in clotting factors VIII (hemophilia A) or IX (hemophilia B).
What is hemophilia commonly called?
Many years ago, it was refered to as 'the Royal Disease" also the "Bleeding disease". Hemophilia B is also known as Christmas Disease.
Is hemophilia a pattern inheritance?
Yes, hemophilia is typically inherited as an X-linked recessive disorder, meaning it is passed down through a mutation on the X chromosome. This pattern of inheritance results in the condition being more commonly seen in males, while females are often carriers of the gene.
Hemophilia is caused by a defiency of what clotting factor?
Hemophilia is caused by a deficiency of clotting factor VIII (hemophilia A) or clotting factor IX (hemophilia B).
Queen Victoria and some of her descendants carried an x-linked gene for?
Queen Victoria and some of her descendants carried an X-linked gene for hemophilia, a genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to control blood clotting. Hemophilia is passed from a carrier mother to her sons, who have a 50% chance of inheriting the gene. Queen Victoria's descendants spread the mutation across European royal families.
Royal hemophilia is the result of what inheritance?
Hemophilia is broken into three subcategories; Hemophilia A, Hemophilia B, and Hemophilia C. These subcategories designate a person as having a deficiency of one of three specific clotting proteins. Hemophilia A is the deficiency of the protein called Clotting Factor VIII. Hemophilia B is the deficiency of Clotting Factor IX. Hemophilia C is the deficiency of Clotting Factor XI. "Royal" hemophilia is simply a reference to Hemophilia B and is therefore a result of a deficiency in the Clotting Factor IX protein. It is sometimes called the royal disease because it has been known to have been passed through some royal families throughout history.

It is very rare for both parents to have these defective genes.If the father does not have hemophilia and the mother is a carrier, sons will have a 50% chance of having hemophilia. Daughters will have a 50% chance of being carriers.If the father has hemophilia and the mother has normal blood, all sons will be normal and all daughters will be carriers.
The Royal disease of hemophilia is?
an X-linked genetic disorder
How has the history of hemophilia been impacted by the practice of royal family inbreeding?
The history of hemophilia has been impacted by the practice of royal family inbreeding because the genetic disorder is more likely to be passed down when closely related individuals have children. Inbreeding among royal families increased the chances of hemophilia being inherited, leading to its prevalence in certain royal bloodlines.
