x-linked dominant inheritance
"X-linked dominant inheritance refers to a genetic pattern in which a disease or trait is passed down through generations predominantly affecting individuals who have a mutated gene on their X-chromosome. Both males and females with the mutation are affected, with females often showing a more severe presentation due to the presence of two X-chromosomes."
