What kind of genetic disorder is hemophilia?

Answer 1

AnswerHaemophilia IS genetic because it is caused by a mutated gene on the x chromosome.

Sorry To Kinda Change This Answer A Little Bit... But I Had This Question For My Biology Homework, Isn't It A Sex-Linked Disorder? I Checked In My Biology Text Book...

Answer 2

Yes it is inherited. There is a defect on the gene that causes blood to clot. Usually the mother is the carrier and they pass it on to their sons. If the father has hemophilia and the mother is a carrier then a daughter can be born with it. Also if the father has it then his daughters can become carriers.

There is also acquired hemophilia, it occurs when the immune sysytem starts attacking the clotting agent in question, it usually happens in elderly people. There are two types of genetic hemophilia (spelled haemophilia if you're not in the US) Hemophilia A and Hemophilia B, Haemophila A is the most common and means the blood lacks factor VII (8), Hemophilia B means that the blood lacks factor IX (9).

Answer 3

haemophilia is a genetic disorder, haemophilia is where people have some vitamin k, when it falls and slice ourselves(like emo) , we bleed and shortly after, the wound clots(clotted cream), vitamin k is what helps our blood clot and monkey's over, therefore, haemophiliacs(people with this disorder) never stop bleeding, the causes of being a heamophiliac could be fatal, also, people with these genetic disorders are poor, poor people who could be treated with genetic engineering, we offer a lifetime guarantee with our genetic engineering solution.

Answer 4

Yes. There are several different types of hemophilia. Hemophilia A and B are X-linked, and hemophilia C is an autosomal mutation. Refer to the related link for a Wikipedia article on hemophilia.

Answer 5

Hemophilia is a genetic disorder that impairs the body's ability to control blood clotting, leading to prolonged bleeding episodes even from minor injuries. It is typically inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern.
