Yes.\n\nBoth colour blindness and hemophilia are X-linked, and recessive. This means that if you are male, you will have the trait (because you only have 1 X chromosome), but if you are female, you have to have the disease on both your X chromosomes.\n\nThe 'normal healthy woman' had to get a hemophilia-X from her father (since he only has 1 X) - call it X(h) - and he was *not* colourblind so the X(h) doesn't carry the colourblindness mutation.\n\nShe also *had* to get a colour-blind-X from her mother, since her mother has to have 2 copies in order to *be* colourblind - call it X(b). So, she is X(h) X(b).\n\nShe marries a colourblind but not hemophiliac man: he must be X(b)Y. No other option.\n\nThere are thus four different possible outcomes for their children:\n\nX(b) X(h) mates with X(b)Y:\n\nX(b) X(b) - colour blind daughter\nX(b) Y - colour blind son\nX(h) X(b) - normal daughter (but carries both recessive traits)\nX(h) Y - hemophiliac son\n\nHope that was clear enough! :)

Of course not! You are not the only one, there are some other people having this kind of trouble in this world. Please try to see a doctor who is an specialist of this arena. He/she will be able to suggest you the most important and accurate things. Best wishes for your good health.

Please find some new doctors!  That isn't normal and there definately has to be a cause.

At what age did your father turn grey? Genetics has alot to do with. Plus, stress, diet and what shape, your in, all are contributing factors. Is your brother a more contented person with a solid foundation of a good career & a healthy & loving relationship with himself and another? When was the last time that you had a complete physical examination by your doctor? There might be a hormonal imbalance.Check it out.

Why is that your concern? I think that is their business. Maybe they do not yet want to have a baby or maybe something is wrong with any of your sons or daughter medically.

In the healthcare professions this is known as 'student syndrome'.  The student often thinks they may have the disease being studied because 'they have all those symptoms too!"\n\nTalk to your mom.  Tell her exactly what you are saying here.  She will help you sort through it, and if needed, get you to the doctor to 'be sure' you are OK.\n\nBest wishes and good luck!

specialists are trying to cure musclular dystrophy. there might be the chance of healing it with the help of molecular biology and stem cell research. but so far there's no date set where it can be cured. they are trying but nobody knows when they figure it out, could be tomorrow, in 10 years or never.\nhuman genetics just involve soo much that stuff like that is unpredictable, unfortunately.

it definitely sounds like a great struggle. but as you described, intelligence is unbeatable, I would encourage you to keep doing what you are, try to look for peds neurology, better found in teaching institutes or university hospitals eg mayo, boston, houtson, indianapolis, etc. besides see if you find support groups for this condition, if you find none, consider starting one, since you and your family may not be the only one with this condition, wish you all the best, good luck

I doubt you are going to devine an answer to such a complicated issue on this or any forum.  First of all no one can predict the future.  Secondly the child apparently hasn't yet been diagnosed completely.  Instead of fishing around for answers that no one can possibly provide, offer your complete support to the family both the parents and children there in.\nThese questions serve no good purpose and as I mentioned aren't going to yield palpable answers.

I don't, but fyi Down's Syndrome is caused by trans-located chromosomes, a.k.a. non-disjunction.  It's likely there are some parents on Y!A with one.

go see your doctor\nor answer one of the spam adverts that claim to add 3" in length\nwhy? genetic disposition, how big was your father's? you are proof that size is immaterial, if it were you would not be here.

AND, WHAT EXACTLY DID THE DOCTOR THAT DIAGNOSED YOU TELL YOU ABOUT THIS?\n\nYour doctor is the one to listen to here not perfect strangers. Even if someone had the similar disease it could very well react differently in everyone. Every case study is not the same.

YES, as I was surprised to learn, the person is called a "chimera"...it's a REAL medical condition!\n\nshort, but informative article:\nhttp://www.thetech.org/genetics/ask.php?id=23
