What are the chances of a person with Xeroderma Pigmentosum passing it to their offspring(include possible scenarios)?

There is a very low chance that the offspring of a Xeroderma Pigmentosum will inherit it because it is a recessive homozygous disease and will most likely be overpowered by one of the mothers X chromosomes if the father has it. But if the mother has Xeroderma Pigmentosum, then there would most likely be a 50% that the child would inherit XP.
