Sexlinked and recessive.
Hemophilia is a sex linked gene carried in the x chromosome.
Gene replacement therapy
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
There are two types of hemophilia. Type A: A mutation in the factor VIII gene. Type B: A mutation in the IX gene.
Genetic diseases, such as hemophilia.
Queen Victoria had four sons Albert Edward Arthur Alfred Leopold The reason why Albert Edward, Arthur and Alfred did not display hemophilia is because they did not have it. Hemophilia is a sex linked gene. Leopold got hemophilia because Victoria carried the gene. She had one healthy X chromosome and an X that had the gene for hemophilia. Leopold got the X with hemophilia and the other boys got the healthy X chromosome
It is possible to diagnose Hemophilia in the fetus during pregnancy by demonstrating the abnormal gene.
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".
The gene that causes hemophilia is located on the X chromosome. A woman who gives birth to a child with hemophilia often has other male relatives who have hemophilia. Sometimes, a baby will be born with hemophilia when there is no known family history. This means the gene can be"hidden"( or passed down through several generations of female carriers without affecting any male members of the family) or the change in the X chromosome is new (a spontaneous mutation).
