Line 51:
In such a case, where both parents carry and thus are affected by an X-linked dominant disorder, the chance of a daughter receiving two copies of the X chromosome with the defective gene is 50%, since daughters receive one copy of the X chromosome from both parents. Were this to occur with an X-linked dominant disorder, that daughter would likely experience a more severe form.
Some X-linked dominant conditions such as [[Aicardi Syndrome]] are fatal to boys, therefore only girls with these conditions survive. Similarly, individuals with [[Klinefelter's Syndrome]] are referred to as "47,XXY Males"
