Question

Which clotting disorder is an inherited X-linked disorder?
A) thrombosis
B) thrombocytopenia
C) hemophilia
D) embolism

Accepted Answer

Hemophilia is an inherited X-linked disorder, meaning it is carried on the X chromosome. It primarily affects males who inherit the gene mutation from their mother, who is usually a carrier of the genetic abnormality. Thrombosis, thrombocytopenia, and embolism are not necessarily inherited disorders and can have various causes.
