The United Leukodystrophy Foundation (see related links) mentions an x-linked adrenoleukodystrophy, as well as other adrenoleukodystrophies that have multiple possible genetic causes.

X-linked Adrenoleukodystrophy is caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene, which leads to a deficiency in the ALD protein. This protein is essential for the breakdown of very long-chain fatty acids. The accumulation of these fatty acids in tissues such as the adrenal glands and the white matter of the brain results in the symptoms of the disorder.
The term used to describe an individual who carries two different alleles of a gene with respect to that gene is called heterozygous.
the answer is sex chromosomes
gene is a segment of dna that carries instructions for making a protein.

Mutation
The tufted head trait in ducks is typically a dominant gene. This means that if a duck carries the tufted head gene, it is likely to express the trait, even if it also carries a recessive gene for a non-tufted head.
A gene is a segment of a DNA molecule that carries the instructions for producing a specific trait. It provides the information needed for the synthesis of proteins or functional RNA molecules that contribute to the expression of that trait.
A carrier is a person who carries a gene(most-likely for a genetic disorder) but do not have the trait controlled by the gene.
