X-linked recessive inheritance. X-linked recessive inheritance is a mode of inheritance in which a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome causes the phenotype to be always expressed in males (who are necessarily hemizygous for the gene mutation because they have one X and one Y chromosome) and in females who are homozygous for the gene mutation, see zygosity.
Illustration of some X-linked heredity outcomes (A) the affected father has one X-linked dominant allele, the mother is homozygous for the recessive allele: only daughters (all) will be affected. (B) the affected mother is heterozygous with one copy of the X-linked dominant allele: both daughters and sons will have 50% probability to be ...

X-linked dominant traits can affect females as much as males. X-linked dominant inheritance occurs less frequently. Only one copy of the mutated alleles on the X chromosomes is sufficient to cause the disorder when inherited from an affected parent. Unlike in X-linked recessive inheritance, X-linked dominant traits can affect females as much as ...

X-linked intellectual disability refers to medical disorders associated with X-linked recessive inheritance that result in intellectual disability. As with most X-linked disorders, males are more heavily affected than females. [1] Females with one affected X chromosome and one normal X chromosome tend to have milder symptoms.
When the condition predominantly affects males in the pedigree, it is considered x-linked. [6] Some examples of dominant traits include male baldness, astigmatism, and dwarfism. Some examples of recessive traits include small eyes, little body hair, and tall stature. [7]
X-linked severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID) is an immunodeficiency disorder in which the body produces very few T cells and NK cells. In the absence of T cell help, B cells become defective. [1] It is an X-linked recessive inheritance trait, stemming from a mutated (abnormal) version of the IL2RG gene located on the X-chromosome.
