1. X-linked dominant inheritance

   X-linked dominant inheritance, sometimes referred to as X-linked dominance, is a mode of genetic inheritance by which a dominant gene is carried on the X chromosome. As an inheritance pattern, it is less common than the X-linked recessive type. In medicine, X-linked dominant inheritance indicates that a gene responsible for a genetic disorder is located on the X chromosome, and only one copy of the allele is sufficient to cause the disorder when inherited from a parent who has the disorder. In this case, someone who expresses an X-linked dominant allele will exhibit the disorder and be considered affected. X-linked dominant traits do not necessarily affect males more than females (unlike X-linked recessive traits). The exact pattern of inheritance varies, depending on whether the father or the mother has the trait of interest. All fathers that are affected by an X-linked dominant disorder will have affected daughters but not affected sons. However, if the mother is also affected then sons will have a chance of being affected, depending on whether a dominant or recessive X chromosome is passed on. When the son is affected, the mother will always be affected. Some X-linked dominant conditions are embryonic lethal in males, making them appear to only occur in females.

1. x-linked dominant inheritance

   X-linked dominant inheritance is a mode of genetic inheritance by which a dominant gene on an X chromosome causes a trait or disorder to be expressed. This means a mutation in the gene, even if it's present on only one of the two X chromosomes in a female or the single X chromosome in a male, is sufficient for the person to express the trait or develop the disorder. Both males and females can be affected, but because males have only one X chromosome, they are more likely to be affected by traits or disorders that are X-linked dominant.
