    • To provide a flexible platform for incorporating new genetic information.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a computer program package.
    • Incorporation of data from multiple genetic probes.
    • Inclusion of parameters for new mutations and additional predictors.

    Main Results:

    • The program package successfully calculates genetic risk for X-linked disorders.
    • The software integrates data from multiple probes for comprehensive analysis.
    • Capability to model new mutations and other predictive factors is implemented.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed program offers an advanced method for assessing genetic risk in X-linked conditions.
    • This tool improves the precision of recurrence risk calculations.
    • It provides a valuable resource for geneticists and counselors dealing with X-linked diseases.
