Inheritance and Genetics of Intersex conditions. Genetics of Intersex conditions: Some intersex conditions are caused by chromosome deletions and duplications, while other conditions are due to specific chromosome mutations that may be inherited. Inheritance of Intersex conditions refers to whether the condition is inherited from your parents or runs in families. The level of inheritance of a condition depends on how important genetics are to the disease.
The chromosomes contain the genes you inherit from your parents. There may be different forms of the same gene â called alleles. For example, for the gene that determines eye colour, you may inherit a brown allele from your mother and a blue allele from your father.In this instance, you will end up with brown eyes because brown is the dominant allele.-linked inheritance. Some conditions are caused by a mutation on the X chromosome (one of the sex chromosomes). These are usually inherited in a recessive pattern â albeit in a slightly different way to the autosomal recessive pattern described above.
