Abstract:

This article is devoted to diseases with x-dominant type of inheritance, peculiarities of these diseases and their treatment. The main characteristic of X-linked dominant inheritance is that sick men transmit an abnormal gene (or disease) to all their daughters and do not pass it on to their sons. A sick woman transmits the X-linked dominant gene to half of her children regardless of gender. The aim of this article is to examine the characteristics of X-chromosome-bound diseases and to identify the distinctive features of these diseases in both males and females.
