Perguntas frequentes
Dúvidas comuns
Why are males more often affected?
Males have one X chromosome, so one disease-associated change on it can cause an X-linked recessive condition.
What does carrier-x mean?
It marks a female who carries a disease-associated variant on one X chromosome.
Can an unaffected male pass hemophilia A to his son?
No. A father passes a Y chromosome, not his X chromosome, to a son.
