Here's a list of X linked recessive inherited disorders:

Lesch-Nyhan syndrome
Duchene muscular dystrophy
Hunter's disease
Menkes disease (Kinky hair syndrome)
Glucose 6 phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency
Hemophilia A and B
Fabry's disease
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome
Bruton's aggamaglobulinemia

Of course the list can be considerable longer but these are the ones that are commonly tested in USMLE.

  1. Here is a link to more information about the genetics of Menkes Syndrome that was prepared by our genetic counselor and which has links to some useful resources for those dealing with this condition: http://www.accessdna.com/condition/Menkes_Syndrome/245. There is also a phone number listed if you need to speak to a genetic counselor by phone. I hope it helps. Thanks, AccessDNA
