The purpose of this study is to describe recessive alleles in strictly dominant genes. Identifying recessive mutations in genes for which only dominant disease or risk alleles have been reported can ...

Your genes code for all your traits. Some genes are dominant and expressed if you receive a copy from one parent. Others are recessive and only apparent if you receive a copy from both parents. Genes ...

Your genes are made of DNA. This DNA provides instructions, which determines traits like your hair color and blood type. There are different versions of genes. Each ...

Autosomal inheritance is when a parent passes down a condition to a child via autosomes, a type of chromosome. In autosomal inheritance, a copy of a faulty gene from one parent can cause a condition ...

Homozygous, or homozygosity, refers to the inheritance of genes from each biological parent. Inheriting faulty genes from both parents can cause a person to develop the associated condition. Genetic ...
