Women can never have this condition.
One-half of the daughters of an affected man could have this condition.
One-fourth of the children of an affected father and a carrier mother could have this condition.
Very rarely would a woman have this condition; the condition would be due to a chromosome error.
Only if a woman is XXX could she have this condition.
