“autosomal dominant”

*only 1 mutated copy of the gene will be necessary for a person to be affected by an ‘autosomal dominant disorder’*

.

(each affected person usually has 1 affected parent)

(the chance a child will inherit the ‘mutated gene’ is 50%)

(‘autosomal dominant conditions’ sometimes have reduced ‘penetrance’)

(which means although only 1 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’

‘neuro-fibromatosis type 1’

‘neuro-fibromatosis type 2’

‘marfan syndrome’

‘hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer’

‘hereditary multiple exostoses’ 
(a highly penetrant autosomal dominant disorder)

‘tuberous sclerosis’

‘von willebrand disease’

‘acute intermittent porphyria’

.

*’birth defects’ are also called ‘congenital anomalies’*
