What is the difference between Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B?
There are two types of hemophilia: hemophilia A (sometimes called classical hemophilia) and hemophilia B (sometimes called Christmas disease). Both are caused by a low level or absence of one of the proteins in the blood (called factors) that control bleeding. Hemophilia A is caused by a deficiency of factor VIII, and hemophilia B is caused by a deficiency of factor IX. There is no difference between the two types of hemophilia, except that hemophilia B is about five times less common than hemophilia A.
What causes haemophilia?
Hemophilia is a disorder that is defined by the absence of one or more proteins required for blood clotting. If a person with hemophilia is injured, the bleeding is prolonged because a clot forms very slowly. This can lead to massive internal as well as external bleeding from serious injuries.
What are three sex-linked diseases?
Three examples of a sex-linked disease are; Hemophilia, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, and androgen insensitivity syndrome. HIV, gonorrhea, and syphilis are examples of sexually transmitted diseases, which is something totally different.
Are there more colorblind females or hemophiliac females?
Color blindness is a much milder handicap than Hemophilia-a which can cause uncontrolled bleeding and death or injury from relatively minor accidents, N"cest Pas?Hemophilia is rare but not unknown in women. it is possible at least one of the Romanov girls had it, as did Prince Alexis. This would have had amplified the tragic events of Ekaterinburg, as any bloodletting, certainly that from automatic pistols which the NKVD men used , woiuold have disastrous effects.
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.
Why is colorblindness or hemophilla more common in males than females?
Men Have XY chromosomes. women have XX chromosomes. To get Hemophilia, all of your X chromosomes have to be affected. as you can see, it is much easier for a man to get it than a woman.
Could a Girl have hemophillia?
Yes. Hemophilia is sex-linked, and is much more common in males than in females, but it is not impossible for a girl to have hemophilia.
Why diseases such as hemophilia affects the males more than female?
Derek bevan is fat
What eating disorder is more likely to affect men than woman?
Ortherexia, Muscle Dystrophy
Why is hemophilia considered to be a sex link trait?
Because the gene that causes hemophilia is located on the X chromosome, so it will occur in males more frequently than in females.
Why is hemophilia more likely to be fatal in women than in men?
Hemophilia is generally more severe in males because it is an X-linked recessive disorder, meaning that men have only one X chromosome, while women have two. If a woman possesses one defective gene for hemophilia on one X chromosome, she may still have a functional gene on her other X chromosome, often resulting in milder symptoms. However, if a woman inherits two mutated X chromosomes, she can experience severe hemophilia, leading to a higher risk of fatal complications compared to men. Additionally, women with hemophilia may face challenges related to reproductive health and bleeding during childbirth, increasing the potential for life-threatening situations.
A recessive gene located on the X chromosome is the cause of hemophilia in affected individuals. Males are more likely to have hemophilia than females because?
Males only have one copy of the X chromosome
Why is hemophilia more common in males than in females?
The genes associated with Hemophilia A and B are located on the X chromosome, which is one of the 2 sex chromosomes. For males, who have only 1 X chromosome, 1 altered copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause hemophilia. In females, who have 2 X chromosomes, a mutation would have to occur in both copies of the gene to cause hemophilia. Since it is unlikely that females will have 2 altered copies of this gene it is therefor very rare for females to have hemophilia.
How often does hemophilia?
Hemophilia occurs in approximately 1 in every 5,000 male births. Females can be carriers, symptomatic, or full hemophiliacs themselves and should in theory have a slightly higher prevalence of the genetic trate. It would be safe to say that more than 1 in 5000 people born, cary the genes for hemophilia. Roughly 1 in 10,000 births are males with hemophilia.
What is the cure for hemophilia b?
Other than a liver transplant the is hardly an ideal solution, there is no cure for Hemophilia A or B as of yet.
What is an inherited abnormality that causes a deficiency of a specific clotting factor resulting in a reduced ablitity to clot blood?
Hemophilia is a bleeding disorder that slows down the blood clotting process. People who have hemophilia often have longer bleeding after an injury or surgery. People who have severe hemophilia have spontaneous bleeding into the joints and muscles. Hemophilia occurs more commonly in males than in females.The two most common types of hemophilia are hemophilia A (also known as classic hemophilia) and hemophilia B (also known as Christmas disease). People who have hemophilia A have low levels of a blood clotting factor called factor eight (FVIII). People who have hemophilia B have low levels of factor nine (FIX).The two types of hemophilia are caused by permanent gene changes (mutations) in different genes.
