It has been proposed multiple times that the topics pertaining to "Sex linkage", including X-linked dominant inheritance, X-linked recessive inheritance, and X-linked genetic diseases. Currently, some of these pages have their own main pages, as well as less developed sections under the "Sex linkage" page, some have only their own main page. This editor is proposing this merger of inter-related topics. ThatGeneticist (talk) 16:33, 7 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
