Autosomal dominant refers to one of the ways that a gene can be passed to offspring through families.\u00a0<\/p>\n

To be autosomal dominant, the gene only needs to come from one parent in order for the gene to be inherited.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Autosomal means that the chromosome affected is not a sex chromosome. Dominant means that even if the other parent has normal genes, the abnormal gene will prevail.<\/p>\n

Each child from the parents will have a 50% chance of inheriting the gene, regardless of whether or not any other family members are affected.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
