Inheritance in which the gene is located on the X chromosome and the corresponding trait is expressed in the presence of only one triggering allele. In contrast to the X-linked recessive mode of inheritance, hemizygous males (allele is located on the X chromosome, which occurs only once in the otherwise duplicated set of chromosomes) and heterozygous females, in whom the allele is present singly, are also affected.
