It's less formal name is bleeder's disease.
then there is Turner's syndrome, which affects females who have only one x chromosome, distinguished by dwarfism, heart abnormalities and underdeveloped sex organs.
Finally, there is Chromosomal disorder, which is characterized by any change in the normal structure or number of chromosomes, resulting in either physical or mental disorders.

An example of a sex-linked trait?
The best known examples in humans are color-blindness and muscular dystrophy. Males are the ones that are the most vulnerable because the Y chromosome is shorter than the X chromosomes that females have.

Why do men have more sex-linked disorders than women?
If you are a carrier of a sex-linked genetic disorder, you will carry that disorder based on your sex hormones, because they influence the appearance of the trait. A person who carries the trait will have the disease but may not show it. ---- Sex-linked disorders are genetic disorders linked directly to a human's chromosomes. In the case of chromosomes, females (XX) give an X chromosome to their offspring. Males (XY) can give either an X or a Y chromosome to their offspring. Because only males can have a Y chromosome, sex-linked disorders usually occur in males.
