    GlossaryAutosomal Dominant Inheritance

    one mutated gene from either parent can cause a trait

    Autosomal Dominant Inheritance is a pattern of genetic transmission where only one copy of a mutated gene from either parent is sufficient to cause a particular trait or disorder. This means that if one parent carries the dominant gene, there is a 50% chance that their child will inherit the condition. This type of inheritance can be seen in conditions like certain forms of alopecia, where the presence of a single altered gene can lead to hair loss.
