  2. Genetic disorder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genetic_disorder

    Certain other phenotypes, such as wet versus dry earwax, are also determined in an autosomal recessive fashion. [24] [25] Some autosomal recessive disorders are common because, in the past, carrying one of the faulty genes led to a slight protection against an infectious disease or toxin such as tuberculosis or malaria. [26]

  3. Congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Congenital_adrenal...

    Differences in residual enzyme activity of the various alleles account for the various degrees of severity of the disease. [136] [137] [138] Inheritance of all forms of 21-hydroxylase CAH is autosomal recessive, [4] except some mild disease-causing variants such as p.V281L that seem to exert dominant negative effects on enzymatic activity. [2]

  4. Mucopolysaccharidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mucopolysaccharidosis

    Approximately 1 in 100,000 newborns will experience severe mucopolysaccharidosis type I, while approximately 1 in 500,000 newborns will experience attenuated mucopolysaccharidosis type I. [2] Most mucopolysaccharidoses are autosomal recessive disorders, meaning that only individuals inheriting the defective gene from both parents are affected ...

  5. List of genetic disorders - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_genetic_disorders

    The following is a list of genetic disorders and if known, type of mutation and for the chromosome involved. Although the parlance "disease-causing gene" is common, it is the occurrence of an abnormality in the parents that causes the impairment to develop within the child.

  6. Human genetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_genetics

    Autosomal recessive inheritance, a 25% chance, and (purple) a 50% carrier 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.

  7. Autosome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autosome

    Autosomal genetic disorders which exhibit Mendelian inheritance can be inherited either in an autosomal dominant or recessive fashion. [7] These disorders manifest in and are passed on by either sex with equal frequency. [7] [8] Autosomal dominant disorders are often present in both parent and child, as the child needs to inherit only one copy ...

  9. Anticipation (genetics) - Wikipedia

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

    Autosomal dominant. Several spinocerebellar ataxias; Huntington's disease – CAG; Myotonic dystrophy – CTG; Dyskeratosis congenita – TTAGGG (telomere repeat sequence) [1] Autosomal recessive. Friedreich ataxia – GAA (Note: Friedreich ataxia does not usually exhibit anticipation because it is an autosomal recessive disorder. [2]) X-linked
