What is another word for x-linked recessive inheritance?
Pronunciation: [ˈɛkslˈɪŋkt ɹɪsˈɛsɪv ɪnhˈɛɹɪtəns] (IPA) 
X-linked recessive inheritance is a genetic disorder that affects males more commonly than females. The disease is caused by a mutation in the X chromosome, which results in the loss of a vital protein or enzyme that is essential for normal body function. Some other terms that can be used as synonyms for X-linked recessive inheritance include sex-linked recessive inheritance and X-linked genetic disorder. These terms all refer to genetic conditions that are associated with genes located on the X chromosome. Since females have two X chromosomes and males have only one, X-linked recessive inheritance tends to be more common in males and can be passed down from mother to son.
