*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’*
