one mutated gene from either parent causes the condition

An Autosomal Dominant Disorder is a genetic condition where only one copy of a mutated gene, inherited from either parent, is sufficient to cause the disorder. This means that if one parent has the disorder, there is a 50% chance that their child will inherit the condition. Examples include Huntington's disease and Marfan syndrome.
