Extractions: Medical Genetics Genes are inherited from our biological parents in specific ways. One of the basic patterns of inheritance of our genes is called X-linked inheritance. X-linked inheritance means that the gene causing the trait or the disorder is located on the X chromosome. Remember, females have two X chromosomes, while males have one X and one Y. Genes on the X can be recessive or dominant, and their expression in females and males is not the same because the genes on the Y chromosome do not exactly pair up with the genes on the X. X-linked recessive genes are expressed in females only if there are two copies of the gene (one on each X chromosome). However, for males, there only needs to be one copy of an X-linked recessive gene in order for the trait or disorder to be expressed. For example, a woman can carry a recessive gene on one of the X chromosomes unknowingly, and pass it on to a son, who will express the trait: Therefore, half of the daughters have the gene and can pass it to the next generation. The other half do not have the gene and, therefore, cannot pass it on. Half of the sons do not have the gene and cannot pass it on. The other half of the sons have inherited the gene and will express the trait or disorder.

This site is dedicated to providing information on the opportunities available through Hemophilia of Georgia for Georgia families who have hemophilia, von Willebrand disease, or other inherited bleeding disorders. If you or a member of your family have been diagnosed with an inherited bleeding disorder, we invite you to contact us for more information. Our History: In 1973 Georgia families came together to form a non-profit agency to serve the needs of the bleeding disorders community in Georgia. Hemophilia of Georgia continues to fulfill the mission of its founders. Guided by a volunteer Board, including individuals with bleeding disorders, H.O.G. meets each new challenge on the road to finding a cure by providing an expanding array of services.

Z Contents of this page: Blood clots Definition Return to top Hemophilia A is a hereditary blood coagulation (clotting) disorder. It is caused by a deficient activity of plasma protein factor VIII, which affects the clotting property of blood. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Hemophilia is a hereditary bleeding disorder of specific blood clotting factors. There are several types, including hemophilia A and B. Hemophilia A is the most common of these disorders and is the result of a deficiency of clotting factor VIII. The disorder is caused by an inherited sex-linked recessive trait with the defective gene located on the X chromosome. Females carry two copies of the X chromosome, and therefore if the factor VIII gene on one chromosome is defective, the gene on the other chromosome can compensate. Males, however, carry only one X chromosome, so if the factor VIII gene on that chromosome is defective, they will have the disease. Females with one defective factor VIII gene are carriers of this trait. Fifty percent of the male offspring of female carriers have the disease and 50% of their female offspring are carriers. All female children of a male hemophiliac are carriers of the trait.

Z Contents of this page: Blood clot formation Blood clots Alternative names Return to top Parahemophilia; Owren's disease  Definition Return to top Factor V deficiency is an inherited abnormal blood coagulation disorder caused by a deficiency of the plasma protein Factor V.  Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Normal blood coagulation is a complex process involving as many as 20 different plasma proteins , which are known as blood coagulation factors. A series of complex chemical reactions using these factors takes place very rapidly to form an insoluble protein called fibrin that stops bleeding When certain coagulation factors are deficient or missing, the chain reaction does not take place normally. Factor V deficiency is caused by inheriting a defective Factor V gene. In this disorder, bleeding ranges from mild to severe. The disease is similar to hemophilia , except bleeding into joints is less common. Bleeding can occur almost anywhere in the body, and death from hemorrhage has occurred with this disorder.
