Question

Is Hemophilia a transmittable disease?

Answer 1

Hemophilia:

1. A genetic bleeding ailment called hemophilia causes the blood to clot improperly.
2. This may result in both spontaneous bleeding and bleeding after injury or surgery.
3. Blood contains a variety of clotting proteins that can aid in the halting of bleeding.

Transmittable Disease:

1. Infection, presence, and proliferation of pathogenic (able to cause disease) biological agents in a specific human or other animal host are the causes of communicable diseases, commonly referred to as infectious diseases or transmissible diseases.

Hemophilia is not a transmittable disease:

1. Mutations in the factor VIII and factor IX encoding genes are the root cause of hemophilia.
2. Like a cold, you cannot contract it from someone who has it.
3. A known family history of hemophilia exists in 70% of cases.
4. Hemophilia is caused by a gene that is transferred from parent to kid.
5. When a mother carries the gene, she is said to be a carrier and has a 50% chance of both producing a son with hemophilia and a 50% chance of also having a daughter who is a carrier.
