If most of the males in a pedigree are affected with a disorder, what type of disorder would it be?

Answer»

Answer:

When a pedigree shows a condition appearing in a 50:50 ratio between MEN and women it is CONSIDERED AUTOSOMAL. When the condition predominantly affects males in the pedigree it is considered x-linked. Some examples of dominant traits INCLUDE: male baldness, astigmatism, and dwarfism.
