Mutations in the genes for clotting factor VIII and IX cause hemophilia A and B, respectively. A woman may be heterozygous for mutations in both genes, with a mutated factor VIII allele on one X chromosome, and a mutated factor IX allele on the other. All of her sons should have either hemophilia A o
