Why is it important?

Acquiring two X-linked abnormalities, of which one is hereditary and another one developed de novo, is extremely low. However, the existence of such cases indicates that genetic testing for certain X-linked diseases could be of importance in patients with hereditary hemophilia.

Perspectives

Genetic testing for distinct X-linked diseases could be of importance in patients with hereditary hemophilia.
