Type 1 von Willebrand Disease in dogs. Type 1 von Willebrand Disease is the most common type, and also the mildest. It occurs when dogs have a mild deficiency in all the proteins making up their ...
X-linked thrombocytopenia, also referred to as XLT or thrombocytopenia 1, is an inherited clotting disorder that primarily affects males. It is a WAS -related disorder, meaning it is caused by a mutation in the Wiskott–Aldrich syndrome ( WAS ) gene, which is located on the short arm of the X chromosome . [ 1 ]
The milder end of the disease spectrum associated with the WAS gene is referred to as X-linked neutropenia or X-linked thrombocytopenia, and the latter is thought to have a normal life expectancy with reports of minimally affected males surviving into their seventh decade without treatment. [21]
Absence of the XK protein is an X-linked disease. [3] Mutational variants result in McLeod syndrome either with or without neuroacanthocytosis: the gene on the X chromosome for McLeod syndrome is physically close to the gene for chronic granulomatous disease. As a result, an individual with one relatively small deletion may have both diseases. [4]
Males are affected by X-linked recessive disorders much more frequently than females. A striking characteristic of X-linked inheritance is that fathers cannot pass X-linked traits to their sons. [citation needed] In X-linked recessive inheritance, a female with one altered copy of the gene in each cell is called a carrier.
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.
In this case, someone who expresses an X-linked dominant allele will exhibit the disorder and be considered affected. [citation needed] The pattern of inheritance is sometimes called criss-cross inheritance. [1] X-linked dominant traits do not necessarily affect males more than females (unlike X-linked recessive traits). The exact pattern of ...
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.
