Good Web Sites __Hemophilia Pedigree Information __

Hemophilia is a recessive trait in females but dominant in males. It causes blood to not clot and for appendages to swell. It is very rare for females to have hemophilia. Males cannot be a carrier. A characteristic of X-linked inheritance is that fathers cannot pass X-linked traits to their sons. Nicholas is married to Alexandria. Nicholas has hemophilia, but Alexandria is a carrier. They had four children: Tatiana, Manya, Anna, and Alexi.
 * 1) Tatiana is a carrier and is married to Andrew who does not have hemophilia and is not a carrier. They had two girls: Sasha and Yakova.
 * 2) Manya is a carrier and is married to Dmitri. Dmitri does not have hemophilia and is not a carrier. They had two children: Mike and Diana.
 * 3) Diana is a carrier and is married to Russell, who has hemophilia. They have one daughter named Mary.
 * 4) Anna is a carrier and is not married and does not have any children.

Hemophilia, My New Life Hello, my name is Manya, and my son has Hemophilia. Hemophilia is a genetic blood disorder that makes blood not clot as fast as it should. I had no idea I was a carrier of this because it is extremely rare for female. Hemophilia is a sex-linked gene, and it is carried on the X chromosome. I just found out that this disorder is recessive in females because they would have to have two hemophilic genes, but is dominant in males because they only have one X chromosome. I found a website all about this and it read, “//There are several symptoms to detect Hemophilia. Some symptoms are extreme bleeding, joint bleeding, and brain bleeding…//” I almost cried. Would Mike ever be able to play football like his father? And how would Diana cope with Dmitri and me always having to watch and take care of Mike? The doctor told us, “There are two types of Hemophilia, type A and type B. Type A is the most common form of Hemophilia. Type B causes extreme bleeding in childhood but few bleeding troubles after puberty.” I asked about any possible treatment and he said,” For moderate to severe Hemophiliacs, Prophalix is advised. Prophalix is a form of a blood infusion.” I don’t want Mike to be hurting! Just last week, Mike came to me saying, “Mommy! Mommy! I’m beeding! Kiss it betta!” I told him to put a bandage on it and to go back to sleep. When I went to check on him, I saw blood dripping from his finger into a small pool of blood on the floor. Mike has Type B. He has taken this very well for a three year old. I cannot believe that only0.005% males have it. Thank you for reading this and for all and any help. We will get by this with love, bravery, and strength.
