Hemophilia, especially in a time period prior to any treatment for it, is most commonly transmitted from carrier mother to afflicted son, being a sex-linked X-chromosome recessive. Any male (who received his X chromosome from his mother) carrying the gene will be affected, while the daughter of a carrier mother will either be free of the gene (if she got a \\\"clean\\\" X chromosome from her mother) or herself be a carrier (if her maternal X chromosome carries the gene for the disorder).
