What chromosome number is affected in Lowe syndrome?
Lowe syndrome is caused by a mutated gene on the X sex chromosome. Because it is X-linked, it occurs almost exclusively in males.
Turner syndrome its autosomal?
No. It is sex linked, of a sort. The female is born with one X chromosome.
Is Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome genetic?
WAS is inherited as an X-linked genetic disorder and will therefore only affect males.
What are the possible genotypes of parents of Lowes syndrome?
Lowe's Syndrome is a rare X-linked recessive disorder. This means that the gene is on the X chromosome. Girls can carry this gene but since they have 2 X chromosomes, it is not expressed in them but carried by them. It is seen in boys since they have one X and one Y. They do not have a second X to "hide" the gene. See more information at the link below:
What are two diseases linked to the X chromosome?
One disorder could be colorblindness. Colorblindness is most common in males because in order to have to disorder you must carry two mutated X chromosomes. Another recessive genetic disorder you can get is called Hemophilia. This is a disorder in which the genes for hemoglobin are not present and your body is not able to create blood clots and a simple scratch can be very serious.
Is klinefelters syndrome autosomal or x- linked?
X-linked
Is Klinefelter Syndrome sex-linked or autosomal?
Klinefelter Syndrome is sex-linked, because it is a genetic defect that results in a male having an extra X chromosome.
What chromosome number is affected in Lowe syndrome?
Lowe syndrome is caused by a mutated gene on the X sex chromosome. Because it is X-linked, it occurs almost exclusively in males.
Is Turner's autosomal or sex-linked?
Turner's syndrome is a sex-linked monosomy. In this case, the person has only one X and no second X or Y.
Is duchenne muscular syndrome dominant or recessive?
It is a recessive X linked form of muscular dystrophy

Is marfan syndrome x linked?
I think it's dominant because when you have sex you are sharing your love.
What causes Lesch-Nyhan syndrome?
The syndrome is caused by a severe change (mutation) in the HPRT gene . Since the HPRT gene is located on the X chromosome, Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is considered an X-linked disorder and therefore only affects males.
Is Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome genetic?
WAS is inherited as an X-linked genetic disorder and will therefore only affect males.
What demographic group can get Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome?
WAS is inherited as an X-linked genetic disorder and will therefore only affect males.
What are three diseases that are sex linked like hemoplilia?
Three disorders which are sex-linked are: Fragile X syndrome Duchenne muscular dystrophy Colour blindness (most forms, but not all)
Is joubert Syndrome dominant or recessive?
autorecessive...both parents have to be carriers.There is a rare X-linked form caused by mutations in the OFD1gene.
