Since Hemophilia A is an "X Chromosome" disease and women have two "X" Chromosomes, women with only one "X" Chromosome with the disorder would be carriers of the disease but not affected by it. Women with both "X" Chromosomes with the disorder would be very rare.

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.


Why are females less likely to get hemophilia?

Females are less likely to show the symptoms of hemophilia but in actuality are more likely to have the genetic mutation for hemophilia. The reason they are less likely to show the symptoms is the fact that hemophilia is the result of a mutation on the X chromosome. Since females have two X chromosomes they likely have a chromosome that is not mutated as well. With the mutation normally being a recessive trait, the normal X chromosome is usually expressed instead. Since males only have one X chromosome, if the mutation for hemophilia is present, it will be expressed. For the same reasons, the chances of a female having the mutation is greater (however still very small), simply because she has two X chromosomes.


If you know a woman has hemophilia what can you infer about her parents genetype?

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".
