A member asked:
Is hemophilia linked to patau syndrome?
6 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, not linked.: Hemophilia a and hemophilia b are caused by mutations in genes f8 and f9, respectively, on the x chromosome. Patau syndrome results from trisomy 13 (the presence of an extra #13 chromosome).

Not: They are different chromosomal abnormalities. Patau is trisomy of chromosome 13. Hemophilia a and b are x-chromosome linked recessive disorders with different genes abnormalities ( f8 and f9 respectively).
