For potential carrier, 159 proven carriers (A130, B29) and 146 noncarrier status (A126, B20) were diagnosed except 20 potential carriers (A16, B4). Only 54 prenatal diagnoses were requested resulting in normal males (n = 21), males with haemophilia A (n = 12) and females with either normal or carrier status (n = 21). Additionally, 40 women/girls with haemophilia carrier received a diagnosis of severe haemophilia A with Turner’s syndrome (n = 2) and mild haemophilia (A31, B7). The skewed X-chromosome inactivation of the nonmutant factor VIII/IX carrying X-chromosome of 8% (2/25) was found in mild haemophilia. Factor concentrate and desmopressin are prescribed for these affected women/girls. The response of women/girls with either haemophilia carrier or haemophilia was amazement with their religious beliefs and cultural acceptance.Conclusion: Appropriate care for women/girls from families with haemophilia concerning diagnosis
