These women can see up to 100 million shades of color because they have four types of cone cells in their eye instead of the usual three. The terms are useful concepts when it comes to predicting the probability of an individual inheriting certain. Among males, almost all genes on the X chromosome, whether the trait is dominant or recessive, are expressed because there is no paired gene to offset their expression. The terms, dominant and recessive describe the inheritance patterns of certain traits. Some women have a rare super color vision trait called tetrachromacy, which is linked to the X chromosome. An X-linked (sex-linked) gene is one that is carried on an X chromosome. It is recommended that usage of the term chondrodysplasia punctata be restricted to the descriptive radiologic finding of stippled calcifications and that Conradi-Hünermann syndrome refer only to the disease described herein, which is transmitted as an X-linked dominant trait. Turner syndrome occurs when women inherit only one copy of the X chromosome. Treatment with oral bezafibrate and clofibrate, which are potential inducers of hepatic peroxisomes, did not result in clinical improvement. Decreased peroxisomal enzyme activity was discovered on fibroblast cultures, linking this syndrome with other peroxisomal disorders.
#Dominant traits linked to x chromosome will be seen skin
Histopathologic findings from skin biopsy specimens were psoriasiform rather than ichthyotic. The pattern of inheritance in this family is compatible with that of an X-linked dominant genodermatosis with variable expression. Family members bore other stigmata, including patchy cicatricial alopecia, coarse hair, follicular atrophoderma, frontal bossing, cataracts, short stature, and short proximal limbs. Only after 5 months did the streaky hyperkeratotic pattern characteristic of the syndrome develop in the child.
Although examination of the female infant yielded no specific findings suggestive of the syndrome, her mother and maternal great-grandmother had features that allowed the diagnosis to be made.
It is very rare for a female to have a dominant gene variant on both copies of the X chromosome. A family with Conradi-Hünermann syndrome was identified after a scaly, erythrodermic neonate was seen. The X-linked dominant variant on the non-working copy of the gene appears to override or dominate the working copy of the gene.
