How does hemophilia progress?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that affects blood clotting. It progresses as individuals with hemophilia have low levels of clotting factors in their blood, leading to prolonged bleeding episodes after injuries or surgeries. Without appropriate treatment and management, repeated bleeding episodes can cause joint damage, muscle deterioration, and other long-term complications.
