Linked from

The 21 pages that link to X-linked inheritance, each with the reason it gives.

• Color blindnessRelated: Common red–green deficiencies are often X-linked, making them more frequent in males.

• Retinitis pigmentosaRelated: X-linked forms often cause severe disease in males and follow distinct family patterns.

• X chromosomeRelated: Its inheritance differs between people with one X chromosome and those with two.

• Carrier screeningRelated: Some screened variants can cause conditions through X-linked inheritance rather than recessive inheritance.

• Genetic disorderRelated: X-linked disorders often show different inheritance patterns in people with one or two X chromosomes.

• Pedigree chartBroader topic: Differences between males and females can reveal this chromosome-linked pattern.

• Pseudoautosomal regionCompared with: Pseudoautosomal genes can be transmitted through X or Y, unlike genes specific to X.

• Alport syndromeRelated: Most classic Alport syndrome is X-linked and caused by COL4A5 variants.

• Chronic granulomatous diseaseRelated: Most cases arise from variants in the X-linked CYBB gene.

• Fragile X syndromeNarrower topic: FMR1 is X-linked, so inheritance and expression differ by sex.

• AdrenoleukodystrophyNarrower topic: ABCD1 lies on the X chromosome, shaping risk across sexes and family generations.

• Charcot–Marie–Tooth diseaseRelated: The common CMT1X form follows this pattern and can affect sexes differently.

• DichromacyRelated: Common red–green dichromacy often follows X-linked inheritance of cone-opsin gene changes.

• Becker muscular dystrophyRelated: DMD variants are X-linked, shaping who is affected and how variants pass through families.

• Kabuki syndromeRelated: KDM6A is X-linked, shaping how its Kabuki syndrome variant can be inherited and expressed.

• Pelizaeus–Merzbacher diseaseRelated: PLP1 lies on the X chromosome, so inheritance patterns vary between males and females.

• Sex linkageBroader topic: Most classic human examples of sex linkage involve genes on the X chromosome.

• X-linked agammaglobulinemiaNarrower topic: The location of BTK explains why the disorder primarily affects males and can pass through carrier females.

• Aarskog–Scott syndromeRelated: FGD1 lies on the X chromosome, shaping how the syndrome is inherited.

• Oculocerebrorenal syndromeNarrower topic: Lowe syndrome is X-linked, unlike disorders inherited through autosomal genes.

• Y linkageCompared with: X-linked genes can pass through mothers and fathers, unlike strictly paternal Y-linked genes.
