Why is Hemophilia a very serious disease?
Hemophilia is a serious disease because you don't have the right proteins to clot up your blood( called clotting factors) If you cut yourself and you have hemophilia you could bleed to death if you don;t go to the doctor right away.
Can you die from hemophilia?
Yes, hemophilia can be life-threatening if not managed properly. Excessive bleeding, especially internally or in the brain, can lead to serious complications or death. Regular medical supervision and treatment are essential for individuals with hemophilia to prevent severe bleeding episodes.
What are the genotypes of Alice of Hesse and Leopold Duke of Albany?
The genotype of Alice of Hesse is Tt and Leopold is tt.
How does hemophilia progress?
Hemophilia is a recessive allele condition. Men can get hemophilia alot easier than women as the allele is found on the XY Chomosome pair. With men. they do not have the extra "tail" on the Y chromosome compared to the XX with a female. If the person has the recessive allele on the X chromosome and this person is male, they will be a hemophiliac as they do not have a 'pair' allele which could be dominant to stop the condition expressing itself. On a female, if there is a recessive (hemophilia) allele on one of the X chromosomes but on the other is a Dominant (normal) allele then she will be a carrier of the faulty gene but will not suffer from the condition herself. If the female have a recessive (faulty) gene on each of the XX chromosomes, then she will be a sufferer of the disease.
In a family with parents who do not have hemophilia one son has hemophilia. Who was the carrier of the gene for hemophilia?
First of all, Spontaneous mutations account for 1/3 of the cases of genetic hemophilia. This means that 1 out of 3 people born with hemophilia have no family history of the trait prior to that person. In the scenario you are describing, you are assuming that there was a carrier when in fact, there is a good chance that there was not. There is also a chance that the child born with hemophilia received the mutation from his mother. Frequently women will have the mutation on one X chromosome but not their second. Depending od the individual case, the mother could carry the gene but not be symptomatic. It is impossible for the son to have received the gene from his father. Since in order for a boy to actually be a boy, he must receive his father's Y chromosome and not his X chromosome, a son cannot receive the affected X chromosome from his father. Also, in order for a father to pass the trait on through daughters, the father himself would be a hemophiliac.
Two parents who were phenotypically normal had to children The oldest was also phenotypically normal but the younger child had cystic fibrosis what is happening in the cross?
Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, meaning that a child must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to express the condition. In this scenario, both parents are likely carriers of the cystic fibrosis allele (genotype Cc), where "C" is the normal allele and "c" is the mutated allele. The older child is phenotypically normal, which could mean they are either homozygous dominant (CC) or a carrier (Cc), while the younger child inherited two copies of the mutated allele (cc) from both parents, resulting in cystic fibrosis. This cross illustrates Mendelian inheritance patterns, where two carrier parents can have a child with a recessive condition.
What is Mild Hemophilia?
Mild hemophilia is a genetic bleeding disorder characterized by a deficiency in clotting factors, specifically factor VIII in hemophilia A or factor IX in hemophilia B, but at levels that are typically 5-40% of normal. Individuals with mild hemophilia may experience prolonged bleeding after surgery or injury, but spontaneous bleeding episodes are rare. Diagnosis often occurs during surgical procedures or after significant trauma, and management may involve factor replacement therapy as needed. With appropriate care, individuals can lead relatively normal lives, though they need to be cautious about activities that could lead to bleeding.
The disease that results from a failure to form blood clotting factor VIII is?
Hemophilia i think... but i could be wrong
A woman is a carrier for hemophilia what are the chances for sons with hemophilia if the father does not have hemophilia?
Since the gene for Hemophilia is carried on the X chromosome and males pass only their Y chromosome onto their sons, no their sons should not have hemophilia. Of course all daughters of a male with hemophilia will be carriers of the mutation since they with receive his X chromosome, not the Y.
What does hemophilia look like?
Hemophilia is invisible except when the afflicted person is bleeding, then it is visible in terms of prolonged bleeding, beyond the point when a normal person would have stopped bleeding.
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 is Hemophilia a very serious disease?
Hemophilia is a serious disease because you don't have the right proteins to clot up your blood( called clotting factors) If you cut yourself and you have hemophilia you could bleed to death if you don;t go to the doctor right away.
What lifetime changes must be made when you have hemophilia?
Avoid situations where you could cut yourself.
Can you die from hemophilia?
Yes, hemophilia can be life-threatening if not managed properly. Excessive bleeding, especially internally or in the brain, can lead to serious complications or death. Regular medical supervision and treatment are essential for individuals with hemophilia to prevent severe bleeding episodes.
What does it mean when a child 's blood does not clot right?
It could mean that the child has Hemophilia, a rare disorder where blood does not clot fast and can bleed for serveral hours after a cut or injury where blood is lost (this is including internal injuries.) If you were bleeding internally you most likely could not determine it, and where some people's may be able to heal, a person with Hemophilia could not. If you suspect a child you know has Hemophilia, consult a doctor IMMEADIATLY.
Who was the Russian monk who reputedly could treat the Czarevich's hemophilia?
Grigori Rasputin was that Russian monk.
Could hemophilia disorder have been prevented?
The simple answer is - you can't ! Hemophilia is a genetic medical condition - not a communicable disease. A person is born with the disease. You can't 'catch' it from being in contact with someone - nor is it spread by the person touching surfaces etc. It is treatable - but incurable. A person with Hemophilia has it all their life.
