Methemoglobinemia is not primarily classified as an X-linked disorder; it is usually caused by genetic mutations that affect the hemoglobin's ability to carry oxygen. The most common forms of hereditary methemoglobinemia are autosomal recessive, linked to mutations in the cytochrome b5 reductase gene. However, certain acquired forms can occur due to exposure to specific chemicals or drugs. While some genetic conditions are X-linked, methemoglobinemia does not fall into that category.
