X-linked Recessive Inheritance

• Where a recessive allele causes a disorder.
• Males are affected more from 8:1.
  • Males aren't carriers with x-linked, because they either have the allele in the chromosome, or not.
  • Females can be carriers, because they have an extra x chromosome for that allele.
