Symptoms of female hemophilia carriers
Disease description:
Nowadays, the number of people with hemophilia is increasing. I would like to ask, what are the symptoms in female carriers of hemophilia?

Dr. Zhang Heyang
Female hemophilia carriers do not have clinical symptoms. Hemophilia is an X-linked recessive disorder, meaning the disease only manifests when both X chromosomes carry the recessive gene. Carriers, who have only one affected X chromosome, do not show any symptoms. A woman with hemophilia will pass the hemophilia gene to her offspring regardless of whether her partner has hemophilia; as a result, all male offspring will be affected, while female offspring have a lower probability of being affected.
