Is synaesthesia an X-linked dominant trait with lethality in males?

Perception - 1 Jan 2005

Ward Jamie, Simner Julia

Abstract excerpt

In previous research the inheritance patterns of synaesthesia (eg experiencing colours from graphemes) has been studied and it was concluded that synaesthesia is most likely to be the outcome of a single gene passed on the X chromosome in a dominant fashion. In addition, it has been reported that the female-male ratio of synaesthetes is as high as 6:1 and the families of synaesthetes contain more female than male...
