Is Hemophilia mutated allele that produces a defective form of the protein hemoglobin?
False; Hemophilia is caused by a mutated allele that produces a defective form of the protein fibrin.Sickle Cell Disease is caused by a defective form of hemoglobin.
A woman is a carrier for hemophilia what is the chances for sons with hemophilia if the father does not have hemophilia?
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.
How can gene therapy help a person with hemophilia?
When using gene therapy doctors can replace hemophilia by replacing the defective in the X chromosome. It would help person out a lot but a person would still have a little trouble by the way I'm in the 7th grade.
Describe how a gene therapy might be used in the future to treat a person with hemophilia?
Doctors can replace the defective gene on the X chromosome. Then the blood would clot normally.
Why are sex-linked recessive disorders such as hemophilia are most often seen in mails and rarely seen n females?
This is due to the fact that females have two X chromosomes while males have only one, lacking a 'back up' copy for the defective gene the defective gene becomes manifest more easily in males. Because females have two X chromosomes and because hemophilia is rare, the chance of a female having two defective copies of the gene is very low, thus females are almost exclusively asymptomatic carriers of the disorder. It is very rare for a female to have hemophilia
A genetic disorder that results from a defective protein in the clotting pathway?
hemophilia

False; Hemophilia is caused by a mutated allele that produces a defective form of the protein fibrin.Sickle Cell Disease is caused by a defective form of hemoglobin.
Hemophilia is caused by a mutated allele that produces a defective form of the protein hemoglobin?
False, Sickle Cell Disease :))
What is genetic disorder resulting defective blood clotting?
hemophilia
Does a human offspring inherit hemophilia from the mother or father?
Hemophilia is sex linked. Males inherit from their mother, daughters are carriers if the defective gene is inherited from one of either parent. A female must inherit two copies of the defective allele to have hemophilia .
Hemophilia is caused by an?

What are the different types of Leukodystrophy caused by?
They are all caused by either an abnormality in one of the protein components of myelin, or by a defective or missing enzyme that assists in the production or normal degradation of myelin
Are there any Medicines for hemophilia?
There are several medication to treat hemophilia. Clotting factor proteins are normally the go to medication for hemophilia. Since hemophilia is the result of a deficiency in these very specific proteins, injecting the missing protein into the vein is a form of treatment. There are several different companies that grow the proteins in a lab specifically to be used in treatment of hemophilia as well as several other companies that simply fractionate the factor proteins out of whole blood for the same usage. Other medications for hemophilia may include anti-inflammatories to assist the person in reabsorbing blood and reducing swelling.
