Mostly males suffer from X-linked diseases, can you find an X-linked disease where mostly women suffer?
Solution
Answer:
Since males have single X chromosome, any X chromosome related illness will appear and is not masked unlike in females.
Therefore X-linked recessive diseases most often occur in males.. A single recessive gene on that X chromosome will cause the disease. Two copies of a disease allele on the X chromosome are required for an individual with two X chromosomes (a female) to be affected with an X-linked recessive disease.
