=== X-linked recessive ===
{{Main|X-linked recessive inheritance}}
X-linked recessive conditions are also caused by mutations in genes on the X chromosome. Males are much more frequently affected than females, because they only have the one X chromosome necessary for the condition to present. The chance of passing on the disorder differs between men and women. The sons of a man with an X-linked recessive disorder will not be affected (since they receive their father's Y chromosome), but his daughters will be carriers of one copy of the mutated gene. A woman who is a carrier of an X-linked recessive disorder (X<sup>R</sup>X<sup>r</sup>) has a 50% chance of having sons who are affected and a 50% chance of having daughters who are carriers of one copy of the mutated gene. X-linked recessive conditions include the serious diseases [[hemophilia A]], [[Duchenne muscular dystrophy]], and [[Lesch–Nyhan syndrome]], as well as common and less serious conditions such as [[male pattern baldness]] and red–green [[color blindness]]. X-linked recessive conditions can sometimes manifest in females due to [[skewed X-inactivation]] or monosomy X ([[Turner syndrome]]).{{cn|date=March 2023}}
