X-linked-dominant inheritance

    0.01 sec.
X-linked-dominant inheritance,
a pattern of inheritance in which the transmission of a dominant allele on the X chromosome causes a characteristic to be manifested. Hypophosphatemic vitamin D-resistant rickets is an example of such inheritance. X-linked-dominant inheritance closely resembles autosomal-dominant inheritance. Compare X-linked-recessive inheritance.
