The 14 pages that link to X-linked recessive inheritance, each with the reason it gives.

• Autosomal recessive inheritanceCompared with: It involves a sex chromosome, so risks differ by sex and parental transmission.

• Autosomal dominant inheritanceCompared with: Its sex-dependent risks differ from autosomal dominant transmission.

• X-linked inheritanceBroader topic: It is a common specific pattern, especially when a person has one X chromosome.

• Duchenne muscular dystrophyRelated: The DMD gene's location on the X chromosome helps explain why the disorder predominantly affects boys.

• Sex-linked inheritanceBroader topic: One X-linked recessive allele can affect an XY individual, while a second X allele may mask it in an XX individual.

• Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiencyRelated: The G6PD gene lies on the X chromosome, shaping who is affected and how.

• X-linked dominant inheritanceCompared with: Unlike dominant inheritance, heterozygous individuals often carry an X-linked recessive variant without typical disease.

• Lesch–Nyhan syndromeNarrower topic: This inheritance pattern explains the syndrome’s usual sex distribution and family transmission.

• Wiskott–Aldrich syndromeNarrower topic: This inheritance pattern explains why the syndrome predominantly affects boys.

• Menkes diseaseRelated: ATP7A lies on the X chromosome, so this inheritance pattern explains the usual sex distribution.

• Recessive traitBroader topic: A single affected X-linked allele can produce a trait in individuals with one X chromosome.

• Barth syndromeNarrower topic: It explains the strong male predominance and how TAZ variants pass through families.

• HaemophiliaRelated: Most haemophilia A and B variants are inherited in this pattern.

• Hunter syndromeRelated: It explains the strong predominance of affected boys and the family-risk patterns in Hunter syndrome.
