This is why men more prone to genetic disorders than females

More than 100 X-linked inherited human disorders or traits have now been identified (Table 1). Most of them are classified as recessive , a much smaller number as dominant and a few as dominant and lethal in hemizygotes. Due to their particular mode of inheritance, X-linked diseases have a more significant place in genetic counselling than would be thought from the relative contribution of the X chromosome to the human genome. #genotype #phenotype #XlinkedDisease #SexLinked #biology
