Autosomal recessive diseases are the most common as two copies of an abnormal autosomal allele are necessary for the phenotype to be expressed.Both autosomal and X-linked dominant diseases only need one abnormal allele for expression to occur.An X-linked recessive condition could only occur in a woman if she inherits two copies of the recessive trait.Because males only have one X chromosome, if the recessive trait is present, it will be expressed.
