Is synaesthesia an X-linked trait with lethality in males?
In previous research the inheritance patterns of synaesthesia (eg experiencing colours from graphemes) has been studied and it was concluded that synaesthesia is most likely to be the outcome of a single gene passed on the X chromosome in a dominant fashion. In addition, it has been reported that the female ^male ratio of synaesthetes is as high as 6 : 1 and the families of synaesthetes contain...

متن کاملIs synaesthesia a dominantly female trait?
Synaesthesia is a familial condition that gives rise to unusual secondary percepts. We present a large-scale prevalence study which informs our ideas on whether the condition is more prevalent in men or women. A number of studies over the last 20 years have suggested the condition is found more commonly in women, with up to six times more female synaesthetes than male. Other studies attributed ...
متن کاملVariation in the X-Linked EFHC2 Gene Is Associated with Social Cognitive Abilities in Males
Females outperform males on many social cognitive tasks. X-linked genes may contribute to this sex difference. Males possess one X chromosome, while females possess two X chromosomes. Functional variations in X-linked genes are therefore likely to impact more on males than females. Previous studies of X-monosomic women with Turner syndrome suggest a genetic association with facial fear recognit...
متن کاملClinical features of affected males with X linked ocular albinism.
Seventy four males affected by X linked ocular albinism (XLOA) from 19 pedigrees were examined to assess phenotypic variation and visual prognosis. Nystagmus was present in all cases except one. Best visual acuity ranged from 6/9 to 6/60; 79.7% could see 6/36 or better; most could read N5. Marked iris translucency and foveal hypoplasia were present in all cases. Posterior embryotoxon was presen...
