Yes, the environment can influence how hemophilia is expressed, although it is primarily a genetic disorder caused by mutations in the genes responsible for clotting factors. Environmental factors such as physical activity, diet, and access to medical care can impact the severity of symptoms and the management of the condition. For example, individuals with hemophilia who engage in high-risk activities may experience more frequent bleeding episodes. Additionally, stress and overall health can also play a role in how the disorder manifests.

How did hemophilia affect European politics and monarchies?
When people would dispute who should claim the throne when the heirs died from hemophilia.
Why is hemophilia rarely expressed in females?
Because hemophilia is a disease linked to a recessive gene on the X-chromosome, females have another X-chromosome to block out the diseased one. However, males have only one X-chromosome, so they are more often subject to hemophilia.
What part of the respiratory does hemophilia affect?
Typically it does not affect the respiratory system at all. The only time it would if if the person suffers an injury that causes bleeding into the lungs. At that point, I think Hemophilia would be the least of their concerns
If both parents are carriers what will the child be?
When a recessive trait is inherited from both parents, it will be expressed. If the trait is hemophilia, the child will be a hemophiliac.
Can a genetic disease affect anybody?
Exceptions are always there e.g hemophilia and many bleeding disorders don't affect females.
What protein does hemophilia affect?
Hemophilia primarily affects clotting factors in the blood, specifically factor VIII in hemophilia A and factor IX in hemophilia B. These proteins are essential for normal blood coagulation, and their deficiency leads to prolonged bleeding and difficulty in forming clots. As a result, individuals with hemophilia experience increased bleeding risks from injuries, surgeries, or spontaneous bleeding episodes.
Does hemophilia affect a person's genetic makeup?
Well yes this is because it is genetically inherited
What are a woman chance of being a carrier for hemophilia if she phenotypically a normal woman and has phenotypically normal parents but has a hemophiliac brother?
She has 1/2 chance. We can figure out exactly what her parents' genotypes were. Her brother has a Hemophilia allele that he got from his mom. So their mom has at least 1 Hemophilia allele. If she had 2 then she would have Hemophilia. The father cannot have a Hemophilia allele because it would have been expressed. So her chances are 1/2 because her mother has 1 Hemophiliac and 1 normal allele.
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.
What ethnic group do hemophilia affect?
um idk think think THINK hahaha i really dunno

What gene does hemophilia affect?
The gene that causes hemophilia is located on the X chromosome. A woman who gives birth to a child with hemophilia often has other male relatives who have hemophilia. Sometimes, a baby will be born with hemophilia when there is no known family history. This means the gene can be"hidden"( or passed down through several generations of female carriers without affecting any male members of the family) or the change in the X chromosome is new (a spontaneous mutation).
