The condition is most often seen in females. When it occurs in males, it can be deadly.
Mutations can have harmful, beneficial, neutral, or uncertain effects on health and may be inherited as autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked traits.
About half of CGD cases are transmitted as a recessive, sex-linked trait. This means that boys are more likely to inherit the disorder than are girls. Boys have an X and a Y chromosome. Girls have two X chromosomes.
Rett Syndrome results from a mutation (change) on the X chromosome that is transmitted as an X-linked trait. However, most cases are thought to represent new mutations that appear to occur spontaneously (sporadically) for unknown reasons.
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is inherited as an X-linked trait. It mostly occurs in boys. Persons with this syndrome are missing or are severely lacking an enzyme called hypoxanthine guanine phosphoribosyltransferase 1 (HGP).
X-linked arthrogryposis is an X-linked trait caused by a mutation on a gene that has been localized to Xp11.3-p11.2.
In rare cases, Addison's disease is inherited as an X-linked trait, meaning that the gene responsible for the condition is located on the X chromosome and passed down from a mother to her child.
As an X-linked trait, it mainly affects males. There is also an autosomal dominant form affecting males and females alike.
Adrenoleukodystrophy is transmitted as an X-linked trait (the neonatal form is by autosomal recessive transmission). It affects approximately 1 in 20,000 to 1 in 50,000 individuals from all races.
A striking characteristic of X-linked inheritance is that fathers cannot pass X-linked traits to their sons.
Where can I find information about diagnosis, management, or treatment of alpha thalassemia X-linked mental retardation syndrome?
The form of the disorder previously designated as Opitz BBB Syndrome is transmitted as an X-linked trait.
Rarely, Addison's disease is inherited as an X-linked trait, where the gene responsible for the condition is located on the X chromosome and passed down from a healthy female carrier to her sons (50/50 chance), who are affected.
The syndrome is inherited as an X-linked trait and so affects mainly boys.

copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the condition. 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 ...
