relations of mito and hemophelia

[Guest guest]

I was on a website not too long ago and thought t link between mitochondrial

disorders and hemophelia. My mom's brother died of hemo back in 1952 and my

mom's sister has I believe 4 grandson's that have been diagnosed with hemo. 1

passed away at two years old. I had a test done to check my clotting factor and

it was above normal meaning I clot easier than most people. It is carried

between the mother to the son I know. And some forms of mito are carried from

the mother to the child. I know there is a link but I can't figure it out.

There is also mito problems on my Dad's side of the family.

If anyone could help me I would appreciate it.

Thanks,

With hemophelia, it is passed by the mothers to their sons because the

defective gene is on the X (female only) chomasone. The females can have a

mild form of the disease. In mito, the form that is passed on by mothers

only is in the mitochondrial DNA. Genetics are really hard to understand

because there are so many different modes of disease transmission.
