  2. Autosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autosome

    Autosomal genetic disorders can arise due to a number of causes, some of the most common being nondisjunction in parental germ cells or Mendelian inheritance of deleterious alleles from parents. Autosomal genetic disorders which exhibit Mendelian inheritance can be inherited either in an autosomal dominant or recessive fashion. [7]

  3. Dominance (genetics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominance_(genetics)

    Autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive inheritance, the two most common Mendelian inheritance patterns. An autosome is any chromosome other than a sex chromosome.. In genetics, dominance is the phenomenon of one variant of a gene on a chromosome masking or overriding the effect of a different variant of the same gene on the other copy of the chromosome.

  4. Human genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetics

    Autosomal recessive inheritance, a 25% chance. Autosomal recessive traits is one pattern of inheritance for a trait, disease, or disorder to be passed on through families. For a recessive trait or disease to be displayed two copies of the trait or disorder needs to be presented. The trait or gene will be located on a non-sex chromosome.

  5. Genetic disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_disorder

    A genetic disorder is a health problem caused by one or more abnormalities in the genome.It can be caused by a mutation in a single gene (monogenic) or multiple genes (polygenic) or by a chromosome abnormality.

  6. Huntington's disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huntington's_disease

    Inheritance is independent of sex, and the phenotype does not skip generations. Huntington's disease has autosomal dominant inheritance, meaning that an affected individual typically inherits one copy of the gene with an expanded trinucleotide repeat (the mutant allele) from an affected parent. [26]

  7. Penetrance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penetrance

    If 100% of individuals carrying a particular genotype express the associated trait, the genotype is said to show complete penetrance. [1] Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), is an autosomal dominant condition which shows complete penetrance, consequently everyone who inherits the disease-causing variant of this gene will develop some degree of symptoms for NF1.

  9. Pseudoautosomal region - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudoautosomal_region

    Crossing over between the X and Y chromosomes is normally restricted to the pseudoautosomal regions; thus, pseudoautosomal genes exhibit an autosomal, rather than sex-linked, pattern of inheritance. So, females can inherit an allele originally present on the Y chromosome of their father.
