Concept
X-linked Dominant
X-linked dominant inheritance
refers to
genetic conditions
caused by
mutations in genes
on the
X chromosome
, where a single copy of the
mutated gene
can cause the disorder in both males and females. This
pattern of inheritance
often results in more
severe manifestations in males
due to the presence of only one
X chromosome
, while females may have milder symptoms due to having two
X chromosome
s, one of which is typically normal.
