X-linked dominant inheritance - One of the ways in which a genetic trait or condition caused by a mutated (changed) gene on the X chromosome can be passed (inherited) from parent to child. In X-linked dominant inheritance, a genetic condition can occur when the child inherits a copy of a mutated (changed) gene on the X chromosome from a parent. Daughters have a 50% chance of inheriting the mutated X-linked gene from their mother and a 100% chance of inheriting the mutated X-linked gene from their father. Sons have a 50% chance of inheriting the mutated X-linked gene from their mother and a 0% chance of inheriting the mutated X-linked gene from their father
