[Estimation of the frequency of recessive X-chromosome-associated traits among females].
We have demonstrated a method for the estimation of the frequency, in any population, of female carriers of recessive conditions associated with the X chromosome. This estimation is possible, independently of the fertility (f) of carriers of the gene, when the frequency of the affection among men is known. (See article) The expected proportions under various conditions are shown in the formulae.
