  2. 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 ...

  3. Mendelian traits in humans - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendelian_traits_in_humans

    Autosomal dominant A 50/50 chance of inheritance. Sickle-cell disease is inherited in the autosomal recessive pattern. When both parents have sickle-cell trait (carrier), a child has a 25% chance of sickle-cell disease (red icon), 25% do not carry any sickle-cell alleles (blue icon), and 50% have the heterozygous (carrier) condition. [1]

  4. 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.

  5. Genotype - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genotype

    The plant with the bb genotype will have the recessive trait. These inheritance patterns can also be applied to hereditary diseases or conditions in humans or animals. [11] [12] [13] Some conditions are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning individuals with the condition typically have an affected parent as well. A classic ...

  6. Pseudodominance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pseudodominance

    Pseudodominance is the situation in which the inheritance of a recessive trait mimics a dominant pattern. [1]Normally, two recessive alleles need to be inherited (one from each parent) for the recessive trait to be expressed but recessive merely means that the trait is only expressed in the absence of the dominant alleles.

  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 ...

  8. Limb–girdle muscular dystrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limb–girdle_muscular...

    The classification scheme at that time denoted autosomal dominant LGMDs as 'LGMD1' and autosomal recessive LGMDs as 'LGMD2.' [3] A letter was appended to the names of LGMDs according to the order of discovery of the causal genetic mutation. [3] As LGMD2Z was established, the question arose of what letter to assign the next discovered LGMD2. [3]

  9. Germline mosaicism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Germline_Mosaicism

    It is possible for parents unaffected by germline mutations to produce an offspring with an autosomal dominant (AD) disorder due to a random new mutation within one’s gamete cells known as sporadic mutation; however, if these parents produce more than one child with an AD disorder, germline mosaicism is more likely the cause than a sporadic ...
