How is it inherited?
It is inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern. In males(who have only one x chromosome), one altered copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the condition. In females(who have two x chromosomes), a mutation usually must occur in both copies of the gene to cause the disorder.
