Can you tell me about the genetics of hemophilia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sex linked: Classic hemophilia is sex linked. The gene is on the X-chromosome. With rare exceptions, only men have the disease. Women carriers transmit the defective gene to half their sons. Consult this site for more info. https://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/hemophilia/
