1. 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 homozygous 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. Females with one copy of the mutated gene are carriers.X-linked inheritance means that the gene causing the trait or the disorder is located on the X chromosome. Females have two X chromosomes while males have one X and one Y chromosome. Carrier females who have only one copy of the mutation do not usually express the phenotype, although differences in X-chromosome inactivation (known as skewed X-inactivation) can lead to varying degrees of clinical expression in carrier females, since some cells will express one X allele and some will express the other. The current estimate of sequenced X-linked genes is 499, and the total, including vaguely defined traits, is 983.

1. x-linked recessive inheritance

   X-linked recessive inheritance refers to the pattern of inheritance in which a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome causes the phenotype to be expressed in males (who are hemizygous for the gene mutation because they have one X and one Y chromosome) and in females who are homozygous for the gene mutation (they have two X chromosomes). Females with one mutation and one normal gene on the X chromosome, also known as carriers, can pass on the mutated gene but typically do not show full-blown symptoms of the disease.

The current estimate of sequenced X-linked genes is 499 and the total including vaguely defined traits is 983. Some scholars have suggested discontinuing the terms dominant and recessive when referring to X-linked inheritance due to the multiple mechanisms that can result in the expression of X-linked traits in females, which include cell autonomous expression, skewed X-inactivation, clonal expansion, and somatic mosaicism.
