*’x-linked recessive conditions’ are also caused by mutations in genes on the ‘x chromosome’*
.
Males are more frequently affected than females, and the chance of passing on the disorder differs between men and women.
The sons of a man with an X-linked recessive disorder will not be affected, and his daughters will carry one copy of the mutated gene.
A woman who is a carrier of an X-linked recessive disorder (XRXr) has a 50% chance of having sons who are affected and a 50% chance of having daughters who carry one copy of the mutated gene and are therefore carriers.
X-linked recessive conditions include the serious diseases hemophilia A, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and Lesch-Nyhan syndrome, as well as common and less serious conditions such as male pattern baldness and red-green color blindness.
(‘x-linked recessive conditions’ can sometimes manifest in ‘females’ due to ‘skewed x-inactivation’ or ‘monosomy X’ (“turner syndrome”))
