Hemophilia Genetics & Hemophilia and Pregnancy

Register Free

A free webinar with Jill Johnsen, MD

Thursday, October 29 · 8 PM ET · Live on Zoom

Hemophilia isn’t only a men’s condition. Women and girls inherit it. Carriers bleed. Many of us were told otherwise for years.

This session covers how hemophilia is passed down and what it means for pregnancy, delivery, and recovery.
Bring your questions. Dr. Johnsen will answer them live.

What we’ll cover

  • How hemophilia is inherited, and why women and girls can have it too

  • What genetic testing can and can’t tell you

  • Planning for pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum

Who it’s for
Women and girls with hemophilia, carriers, parents, and family members. It’s also for anyone who’s been told “women don’t bleed.”

About Dr. Johnsen
Dr. Jill Johnsen is a physician scientist with expertise in classical (benign) hematology. Dr. Johnsen studies the genetics and biology of variation in clotting factors and blood groups (blood types), with emphasis on coagulation factor VIII, factor IX, and von Willebrand factor, and clinically relevant blood group genes, particularly the ABO and Rh systems. Dr. Johnsen's research aims at a better understanding of how bleeding uniquely impacts females.
