    Autosomal dominant disorders are generally passed down through generations with either parent able to pass the mutation to their child. Both males and females are equally affected. Examples include albinism and Huntington's disease. Autosomal recessive disorders require both parents to carry a mutant gene, though they may not exhibit symptoms, to have an affected child. There is a 25% chance with each pregnancy of an affected child. Examples are cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia. The document contrasts the inheritance patterns and examples of autosomal dominant and recessive genetic disorders.

    Autosomal Dominant
    Autosomal dominant disorders are
    generally transmitted from parent to child
    through one or more generations
    It also might result from a new mutation
    The disease will typically shows a
    Mendelian pattern of inheritance (Males
    & Females are equally affected)

    Examples of
    Diseases
    o Albinism
    o Acondroplasia (Shortlimbed dwarfism)
    o Huntingtons Disease
    o Polycystic Kidney
    Disease
    o Deafness

    Autosomal Recessive
    Autosomal recessiveis one of several

    ways that a trait, disorder, or disease can


    be passed down through families
    Affected children have parents that possess both
    mutant & functioning copy of allele (Affected)
    When both parents have one abnormal copy of the
    same gene, they have a 25% chance with each
    pregnancy that their offspring will have the disorder.

    Examples of
    Diseases
    o Cystic Fibrosis
    o Sickle Cell
    Anemia
    o Tay-Sachs
