Hemophilia A is a blood disorder that usually affects males because of the genes it uses. The disorder does not allow blood to clot properly and has the characteristics of heavy bleeding that does not stop.
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.
Hemophilia A is inherited as a recessive trait.
Yes, it is possible to develop hemophilia later in life, although it is rare. Acquired hemophilia can occur in adults due to certain medical conditions or medications that interfere with the body's ability to clot blood.
Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder where a person lacks certain clotting factors, such as Factor VIII or Factor IX. This can result in prolonged bleeding and difficulty forming blood clots, leading to potential serious complications if not managed properly. Treatment often involves replacing the missing clotting factors through infusions.
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.
Hemophilia A is a blood disorder that usually affects males because of the genes it uses. The disorder does not allow blood to clot properly and has the characteristics of heavy bleeding that does not stop.
There are a number of "sex-linked" characteristics: male pattern baldness and hemophilia come to mind.
Hemophilia is one disease in which blood does not clot normally. von Willebrand's Disease
There is no chance that the child will have hemophilia even if the spouse has hemophilia. Any girls the couple has will be carriers if the spouse has hemophilia.

Can anyone be a candidate for the hemophilia a
Hemophilia is caused by a deficiency of clotting factor VIII (hemophilia A) or clotting factor IX (hemophilia B).
50%
There are no hard answers to this, it depends strictly on luck. The statistics are though not very good for their children. Statisically the couple have a chance of having a normal son, a daughter that is a carrier for hemophilia, a daughter with hemophilia and a son with hemophia.
