[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Victoria was a carrier of hemophilia. Two of her daughters and four of her granddaughters were carriers of the disease. A son, three grandsons, and four great-grandsons were all sufferers, most of whom bled to death. [/quote] Many of those outlived their expected lifespan even so, though. Tsarevich Alexei died at 13 and even he exceeded the average life expectancy for a hemophiliac of the time--and he didn't even die of hemophilia, rather of being shot point-blank in the head. Prince Leopold lived to be 30. Infante Alfonso and Infante Gonzalo survived to young adulthood, and Prince Waldemar lived to be 56. Waldemar was also the last of Victoria's descendants with hemophilia and he died in 1945. The gene is long since gone or it would have reappeared by now in some female line.[/quote]
