That is assuming a very simple genetic model that is only fully valid in cases where a symptom is caused by a single gene malfunctioning by it self.

Also ignoring gene to gene interactions that can have adative or worse effects.

Exactly -- like I said, it is complicated. What I said was the simplest case possible: not X/Y related, disease caused by a single gene.
