<unk>  is mode of inheritance in which a gene on the<unk>  chromosome is<unk> .  Females can be more frequently affected than males since they have two<unk>  chromosomes that could potentially carry the abnormal gene, whereas a male has only one. However, the Lyon hypothesis states that<unk> -inactivation renders only one copy of the<unk>  chromosome active in each cell hence on average one would expect only one half of the cells to express the abnormal gene. The chance of passing on an<unk>  disorder differs between men and women.
As a disease inheritance pattern, it is less common than<unk><unk>  recessive.
