Autosomal Dominant & Recessive

• Occurs only if one parent passes the faulty gene onto the offspring.
• Single faulty gene in the Autosomal genes ( the 22 non-sex chromosomes)
• Can cause the disease even if the matching gene from the other parent is normal
• Parent with auto dominant disease has a 50% chance of having a child with the disease.
• 100% chance of the parent having the disease.

• Single faulty gene in the Autosomal genes ( the 22 non-sex chromosomes)
• Occurs only if both genes that were inherited are mutated.
• If the two parents carry the same recessive gene then there is a 1:4 chance of the child being affected by the gene.
• 25% Chance child is born with 2 normal genes
• 50% Chance child is born with 1 normal gene and 1 mutated gene
• 25% Chance the child is born with 2 mutated genes.
• Parents do not have to have the disease, just has to have the mutated gene.
