Remember The Girls: What is X-linked inheritance?

Women with X-linked genetic disorders, also known as “carriers,” aren’t typically just carriers and often manifest symptoms, in addition to having a 50% chance of passing the condition down to their offspring. Remember The Girls’ mission is to raise awareness of the issues facing carriers of these conditions and to provide a forum for women to share their stories, receive emotional support, and learn how to advocate for themselves and their families.

Remember The Girls' mission is to raise awareness of the many issues facing carriers of X-linked genetic disorders; to provide a forum for these women to share their stories, ask questions, provide and receive emotional support, and develop friendships; to advocate for increased attention of the medical community to the physical and emotional issues of women who carry X-linked disorders; and to provide financial support to carriers of X-linked disorders for medical treatment and diagnosis, as well as those seeking to build families free of genetic disease through assisted reproductive technologies and adoption.
