| ribosomal protein S6 kinase kinase | <enzyme> Isolated from unfertilised xenopus eggs; a 41 kD enzyme that is associated, in vivo, with phosphorylation on threonine and tyrosine residues and, in vitro, with phosphorylation on serine as well Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: rsk kinase (26 Jun 1999) |

| recessive, x-linked | A gene on the X chromosome that expresses itself only when there is no different gene present at that locus (spot on the chromosome). For example, duchenne muscular dystrophy (dmd) is an x-linked recessive disorder. A dmd boy has the dmd gene on his sole x chromosome (and so is said to be hemizgous for dmd). Although it is much rarer, a girl can have dmd (by several different means as, for example, if she has the dmd gene on both her x chromosomes and so is homozygous for dmd). (12 Dec 1998) |
| x-linked | On the X chromosome. Linked in genetics does not mean merely associated. An x-linked gene travels with the x chromosome and therefore is part of the x chromosome. (12 Dec 1998) |
| X linked disease | <disease, genetics> A genetic or inherited disease whose controlling gene or at least part of the relevant genome is carried on an X chromosome, for example haemophilia. most known conditions are recessive and thus since males have only one X chromosome they will express any such recessive character. Few dominants are known and the homozygous states are very rare so that female expression of such diseases is uncommon. (18 Nov 1997) |
| X-linked gene | A gene located on an X chromosome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| X-linked hypogammaglobulinaemia | A congenital, X-linked recessive, primary immunodeficiency characterised by decreased numbers (or absence) of circulating B-lymphocytes with corresponding decrease in immunoglobulins of the five classes; associated with marked susceptibility to infection by pyogenic bacteria (notably, pneumococci and Haemophilus influenzae) beginning after loss of maternal antibodies. X-linked hypogammaglobulinaemia with growth hormone deficiency, hypogammaglobulinaemia combined with a reduced number of B-cells; characterised by short stature, delayed puberty, and recurrent infections. (05 Mar 2000) |
| X-linked ichthyosis | A form of ichthyosis, due to 3-beta-hydroxysteroidsulfate sulfatase deficiency, that appears at birth or in early infancy and affects males; characterised by scaling predominantly on the neck and trunk but not on the palms and soles; histologically, there is hyperkeratosis, a granular layer in the epidermis, and normal epidermal cell turnover. Synonym: steroid sulfatase deficiency. (05 Mar 2000) |
| X-linked inheritance | The pattern of inheritance that may result from a mutant gene on an X chromosome. (05 Mar 2000) |
