Per general etiquette, the mother of the bride buys her wedding day outfit first, then notifies the mother of the groom about the color, length and overall formality of her choice. But if the groom's mom doesn't get word by the four-month mark, she should touch base with the bride-to-be about what to do.
Genetics. The two main types of hemophilia are caused by gene mutations that affect the levels of clotting factors in the blood. Mutation of the FVIII gene leads to hemophilia A, also called classic hemophilia, while a mutations in the FIX gene leads to hemophilia B, also called Christmas disease.
Causes. Hemophilia A is caused by an inherited X-linked recessive trait, with the defective gene located on the X chromosome. Females have two copies of the X chromosome. So if the factor VIII gene on one chromosome does not work, the gene on the other chromosome can do the job of making enough factor VIII.ales have only one X chromosome. If the factor VIII gene is missing on a boy's X chromosome, he will have hemophilia A. For this reason, most people with hemophilia A are male. If a woman has a defective factor VIII gene, she is considered a carrier.
