Hey guys,

I'm just wondering besides colourblindness, and hemophilia, what are some of the other common x-linked or sex-linked genetic diseases we should know for DAT? And for example, if I see a disease that I have no idea about, should I assume its autosomal or x-linked?

Thanks so much for any input!

The DAT will give you the type of disease it is......Make sure you know how to do the cross if given autosomal dominant or recessive disorder.

Hope this helps
