Haemophilia C is a less common form of haemophilia and is inherited in autosomal recessive inheritance, unlike haemophilia A or B. This means that haemophilia C can affect both males and females.
If a man is a carrier of haemophilia C and the woman is healthy, there is a 50% chance of having a carrier child (regardless of sex) and a 50% chance of having a healthy child.
In contrast, if both parents are carriers of haemophilia C, then there is a 50% chance that the offspring will be carriers of the disease, a 25% chance that they will have haemophilia C and a 25% chance that they will be healthy.
