Yeah, the title says it all. I don’t really understand the difference; all I know is about “normal” sex-linkage. You know, males are always affected if the gene is present, females can be carriers if there are hemizygous or affected if they are homozygous… And just for a little bit of more information, I’m doing this for a paper on Duchennes Muscular Dystrophy. You know, if that’s relevant.
