This would suggest that women would be expected to suffer from X-linked disorders approximately 50% as often as men (because women have two X chromosomes, while men have only one); however, in actuality, the occurrence of these disorders in females is much lower than that.
Isto suxeriría que se esperaría que as mulleres sufrisen trastornos ligados ao X nunha proporción do 50% con respecto aos homes (porque as mulleres teñen dous cromosomas X, mentres que os homes teñen só un); porén, na realidade, a frecuencia destes trastornos en femias é moito menor que esa cifra.
