  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 . Dominance is the phenomenon of one variant ( allele ) of a gene on a chromosome mask or overrides the effect of a different variant of the same gene on the other copy of the ...

    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.

  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. von Willebrand disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Von_Willebrand_disease

    The inheritance pattern of VWD type 3 is autosomal recessive, meaning that both parents must carry the defective gene for their child to be affected. In contrast, hemophilia A follows an X-linked recessive inheritance pattern. Additional diagnostic tools for VWD type 3 include assessing VWF activity using the Ristocetin cofactor assay and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Friedreich's_ataxia

    Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA) is a rare, inherited, autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder that primarily affects the nervous system, causing progressive damage to the spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and cerebellum, leading to impaired muscle coordination . The condition typically manifests in childhood or adolescence, with initial ...

  9. Achondroplasia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achondroplasia

    Achondroplasia is a genetic disorder with an autosomal dominant pattern of inheritance whose primary feature is dwarfism. [3] It is the most common cause of dwarfism [4] and affects about 1 in 27,500 people. [3] In those with the condition, the arms and legs are short, while the torso is typically of normal length. [3]
