There are a few conditions that have been shown to follow a pattern of x dominant inheritance. We could have, for example, Charcot-Marie-Tooth, a Rett syndrome. In this case the red syndrome is a condition that causes physically and interlocal disability in females that is one example but in this case males with the mutations sometimes survive but are affected more severely than females so, in this case, there are a few conditions like this that are very very rare that we can inherit from our parents.
