My son has Hemophilla A, and I cannot get the school to contact me?

Q: My son has severe Hemophilla A, I can not get the school to contact me when ever he gets hurt. He actually feel down and hit his foot wrong he asked for an icepacka nd to call me and they told him, no that he was ok, and they were waiting to use the icepacks on “real” injuries. His foot swelled up huge and took extra Factor 8 to clear up. How do I get them to call me? I’ve asked nicely about tens times, and he is still coming home hurt. Should I pull him out and home school?**For those of you who do not know what hemophilla is, It is when you are missing the component in your blood that clots, thus causing big bruises if hit slightly, or even if you grab him to move him, bumop into him. Because of the hemophilla, he already has arthritus in 25% of his joints. It is very important for him to get med. as soon as he gets hurt.**

A: You need to get a something called a Chapter 15 plan on him. This is a form of special education that is geared towards children with medical issues only (not mental disabilities). You will have a meeting with some school officials and possibly a Dr. They will then write down all the accommodations that your son needs to have, like follow up phone calls, ice when needed, etc. This will protect your son in school and also his education

Hemophilla? Cross tests?

Q: C.Hemophilia is an X linked recessive trait. If a normal woman marries a normal male, what are the chances that they will have hemophiliac boys? The maternal grandmother was normal (with a hemophiliac father) and the maternal grandfather is hemophiliac. The paternal grandparents are normal.

A: Normal woman means she does not contain the gene for hemophilia. If she were a carrier then she would be heterozygous and able to pass on the gene to her offspring.The answer to the first question is zero per cent chance.In the second case the mother gives the X gene so the males would be normal since she is normal not a carrier. Some of the females could be carriers since the father could pass on the defective gene to them.When you use normal that says it all. So the boys will be normal.

Q: A woman’s father is afflicted with color blindness and hemophilla, her mother is homozygous normal for both alleles.a. what is the genotype of this woman?b. if she married a man who was hemophilic and color blind, what would be the phenotypic and genotypic ratios of their offspring?

A: Color blindness is carried on the X chromosome. Same with hemophilia. This question is not clear on whether the mother is a carrier of both alleles or not. Since both are carried on the X chromosome, a woman needs to have both X chromosomes to have the alleles in order to show signs of both disorders. Since the father only has one X chromosome, once he receives an X that has the alleles, he will show signs. Unless you clarify that the mother is or is not a carrier, I cannot help you. Once you clear that question up, I will be happy to assist you.
