  Examples of some x-linked genetic conditions:

• androgen insensitivity syndrome
• Dent disease
• Goltz Syndrome (Focal Dermal Hypoplasia)
• hemophilia B (congenital factor IX deficiency)
• oculocerebrorenal syndrome
• X-linked Infantile Spasm Syndrome
• Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome

  More examples x-linked genetic conditions include:

• Aicardi Syndrome
• Androgen-Insensitivity Syndrome
• Barth Syndrome
• Choroideremia
• Dyskeratosis Congenita
• Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia 1
• Fabry Disease
• Focal Dermal Hypoplasia
• Glycogen Storage Disease Type IIb
• Glycogen Storage Disease Type VIII
• Chronic Granulomatous Disease
• Hyper-IgM Immunodeficiency Syndrome Type 1
• Isolated Noncompaction of the Ventricular Myocardium
• Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
• Emery-Dreifuss Muscular Dystrophy
• Ornithine Carbamoyltransferase Deficiency Disease
• Pelizaeus-Merzbacher Disease
• X-Linked Bulbo-Spinal Atrophy
• X-Linked Combined Immunodeficiency Diseases
• X-Linked Ichthyosis
• X-Linked Mental Retardation
