What are the chances that their son will also have hemophila?

The chances of their son having hemophilia depend on several factors, including the specific type of hemophilia and the genetic status of the parents. Hemophilia A and B are X-linked recessive disorders, which means that if the mother is a carrier, there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that a son will inherit the disorder. If the father has hemophilia, all daughters will be carriers, and none of the sons will be affected. Therefore, the likelihood varies based on the parents' genetic backgrounds.

Does having too many chromosomes result in hemophilia?

No, hemophilia is not caused by having too many chromosomes. It is a genetic disorder primarily linked to mutations in specific genes responsible for blood clotting, particularly the F8 gene (hemophilia A) or the F9 gene (hemophilia B), both located on the X chromosome. Hemophilia is typically inherited in an X-linked recessive manner, meaning it mainly affects males while females can be carriers. Chromosomal abnormalities, such as having an extra chromosome, do not directly cause hemophilia.


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.

What is the prognosis or outlook for the baby's having hemophilia disease?

It depends on the country where it's born. In developed countries, the baby's having hemophilia should have a good outlook because it would have access to clotting factors from human blood donors. In underdeveloped countries, the baby's chances for survival aren't very good.
