Term: autosomal dominant inheritance
Gramatical category: s
Definition: Transmission of a gene with is located on one of the autosomes and one copy is sufficient for the trait to be expressed and or for the disease to be present.
Context: Although transmission of a disease through members of either sex through multiple generations of a family strongly suggests autosomal dominant inheritance, it is important to remember that autosomal dominant diseases can occur without a positive family history.
Notes: In autosomal dominant inheritance penetrance may be incomplete, so the gene may appear to “skip” a generation.
