X-linked diseases

X-linked diseases
Any inherited disease whose controlling gene or at least part of the relevant genome is carried on an X chromosome, eg. haemophilia. Most known conditions are recessive and thus since males have only one X chromosome they will express any such recessive character. Few dominants are known and the homozygous states are very rare so that female expression of such diseases is uncommon.
