When a pedigree shows a condition appearing in a 50:50 ratio between men and women it is considered autosomal. When the condition predominantly affects males in the pedigree it is considered x-linked. [7] Some examples of dominant traits include: male baldness, astigmatism, and dwarfism. Some examples of recessive traits include: small eyes ...
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.

Autosomal dominant conditions sometimes have reduced penetrance, which means although only one mutated copy is needed, not all individuals who inherit that mutation go on to develop the disease. Examples of this type of disorder are Huntington's disease, [21]: 58 neurofibromatosis type 1, neurofibromatosis type 2, Marfan syndrome, hereditary ...
Autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia; Autosomal dominant Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 2 with giant axons; Autosomal dominant GTP cyclohydrolase I deficiency; Autosomal dominant intellectual disability-craniofacial anomalies-cardiac defects syndrome; Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy; Autosomal dominant partial epilepsy ...
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.
