Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder caused by mutations in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. Researchers from Sorbonne University and Hôpital ...

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 ...

Researchers have conducted what they say is the largest and most diverse study to date on how recessive genetic changes contribute to developmental disorders. The team, headed by researchers at the ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

As a group, carriers of recessive disorders are slightly less healthy and have a reduced chance of having offspring. This disadvantage is greatest for carriers of a recessive gene for intellectual ...

Unknown etiology is commonly encountered in the kidney pre-transplant routine program. A screening program was performed to detect patients and study recipients that meet the following features: ...
