Since the traits for hemophilia are carried on the X chromosome and not the Y, it is more probable for females to have a chromosome with the mutation. Since the mutation is considered recessive and males only have one X chromosome, they are more likely to portray the phenotype for hemophilia than their female counterparts.

∙ 9y agoNo, the alleles for achondroplasia are not found on the sex chromosomes. The incidence is the same for both sexes.
If it was sex linked the ratio would be much higher in males and they would also essentially be
homozygous for the trait which would make the death toll in affected male babies 100%.

What chromosomes are affected with hurler syndrome?
chromosome 4
What chromosome is affected by meckel syndrome?
Meckel Syndrome (type 1)is an autosomal recessive trait carried on chromosome 17.
What chromosome is affected in Turner Syndrome?
The chromosomes which are affected in Turner's Syndrome is the sex chromosomes. A normal female individual has 2 X sex chromosomes. In Turner's Syndrome, a woman only has one X chromosome and is missing the other. Thus, a woman with Turner's Syndrome has the sex chromosomes X0.
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.
Who are the people who have turner's syndrome?
It is a type of genetic disorder in which females are affected. This happens when they dont have an X chromosome as in the sex chromosome so the resultant will be XO.
What chromosome pair is affected by marfan syndrome?
17
What is the etiology of marfan syndrome?
The etiology of marfan syndrome would be the mutations in the protein FBN1 in the gene chromosome 15.
Is Down Syndrome the same as Marfan Syndrome?
No. Down is caused by an extra chromosome while Marfan is due to a mutation in one or more genes.
What chromosome is gene located for marfan syndrome?
FBN1 or Fibrillin 1
What gene or chromosome is affected by down syndrome?
Chromosome 21 is tripled in Down syndrome.
What is the inheritance pattern to Marfan Syndrome?
Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder. An affected person has a 50% chance of passing it on to each offspring, regardless of gender.
What chromosome is affected by Lobstein Syndrome?
13
What major organ systems are affected by Marfan syndrome?
Marfan syndrome affects three major organ systems of the body: the heart and circulatory system, the bones and muscles, and the eyes.
What chromosomes are affected with hurler syndrome?
chromosome 4
What chromosome is affected by meckel syndrome?
Meckel Syndrome (type 1)is an autosomal recessive trait carried on chromosome 17.
What are the chances of getting marfan syndrome?
Marfan syndrome is found in 1 in every 5,000 - 10,000 births. If one of your parents has Marfan syndrome, you have a 50% chance of having Marfan syndrome.
