Does a Hemizygous male always mean they are affected?
Ex.
X-linked recessive disorder.
Father is hemizygous->XaY<-affected
Mother is heterozygous->XAXa<-unaffected carrier
X-lined dominant disorder
Father is hemizygous->XAY<-affected
Mother is heterozygous->XAXa<-affected
Hemizygous is never present in autosomal recessive or dominant, correct?
Doesn't hemizygous basically equal to affected individual in this case.... Is it just another way to say it.
