Most significantly, the inheritance pattern and the consanguineous nature of the kindred was more in keeping with an autosomal recessive than autosomal dominant condition.

Von Willebrand disease inheritance can be dominant or recessive, meaning one or both parents could pass down the gene that causes it.

Autosomal recessive cystic fibrosis is an inherited condition that affects the mucus and organs of the body. Affected genes are inherited from both parents.

Retinitis pigmentosa inheritance can occur in several ways, with the genes that cause the condition coming from one or both parents.

From dominant and recessive traits to Punnett squares and inheritance patterns, this fascinating realm of science offers endless possibilities for exploration and understanding.

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely ...

This family condition led us to propose a hypothesis of an autosomal recessive inheritance for this trait. In future such a family might help localise a gene responsible for this trait.

“While many of the rHS patients we studied had exon mutations, in some of them — assuming recessive inheritance — we only found one mutation, not two,” said Gallagher.

“Lethal acrodermatitis is a genodermatosis with monogenic autosomal recessive inheritance in Bull Terriers and Miniature Bull Terriers,” the study reads.

However, because the condition is recessive, the inheritance of one abnormal X chromosome does not usually cause symptoms in females because they usually also inherit another normal X chromosome.
