Two mothers give birth to sons at the same time at a busy urbanhospital. The son of mother 1 has hemophilia, a disease causedby an X-linked recessive allele. Neither parent has the disease.Mother 2 has a son without hemophilia, despite the fact thatthe father has hemophilia. Several years later, couple 1 suesthe hospital, claiming that these two newborns were swappedin the nursery following their birth. As a genetic counselor, youare called to testify.

Hematology

Hematology is the branch of biology. Hematology is the medical field that deals with the treatment of blood disorders and cancers, such as hemophilia, leukemia, lymphoma, and sickle-cell anemia. Hematologists and hematopathologists are medical professionals who specialize in illnesses of the blood and its components.
