| These defects, which include conditions such as hemophilia and color-blindness, are called X-linked because the genes are carried on the X chromosome. |
| Female carriers of X-linked recessively inherited disorders can often be identified by some outward expression of the disorder. |
| However, results for X-linked loci are also generally applicable to any haplodiploid genetic system. |
| Like hemophilia A, hemophilia B, or factor IX deficiency, is an X-linked chromosome bleeding disorder. |
| The researchers tackled a condition called X-linked retinitis pigmentosa, a genetic defect that is passed from mothers to sons. |
| The method would therefore be amenable to screening an X-linked dominant disorder with heterozygous females and hemizygous male patients. |
