If you were born male and have haemophilia, will your children have haemophilia too?
Watch the video below to find out.
This video is for teenage males with haemophilia who have questions about how haemophilia is passed on in a family. It covers inheritance patterns for males with haemophilia and gives a short and simple explanation of the genetics involved.
Wondering about having children in the future? Inheritance patterns are only the beginning. There’s a lot more to know about family planning options, but it will be important to ask your Treatment Centre about that. They will be able to explain what might be relevant to your situation.
For more information about inheritance, what happens when the mother is a haemophilia carrier, and family planning, speak to your Haemophilia Treatment Centre or visit our haemophilia inheritance page.
