Question:
How can one relate an autosomal dominant
pedigree pattern to the segregation of genes
at meiosis?
Answer:
By imagining which of the two genes of
the parent with the condition have been
passed on to children as shown on the
next few screens
Gene
Reminder:
Heterozygotes with one copy of the
abnormal gene are affected
Chromosome
AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT INHERITANCE
Parents
Parents have two copies of autosomal genes:
one copy on each of a particular pair of
chromosomes
AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT INHERITANCE
Parents
A parent with an
autosomal dominant
disorder has one copy of
an altered gene and one
normal gene of the
particular pair
AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT INHERITANCE
Parents
Gametes
The affected
parent passes
on either the
altered gene
or the normal
gene into the
eggs or sperm
The unaffected
parent passes on
one or other of
his/her normal
genes into the
eggs or sperm
AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT INHERITANCE
Parents
Gametes
There are
four different combinations
of the two genes from each parent
AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT INHERITANCE
Parents
Gametes
Offspring
This child has inherited the altered
gene from the affected parent and
one of the normal genes from the
unaffected parent
AUTOSOMAL DOMINANT INHERITANCE
Parents
Gametes
Offspring
This child has inherited the
altered gene from the affected
parent but the other normal
gene from the unaffected
parent

This child has inherited the

the normal genes from the

Autosomal dominant
conditions are part of the
group of single gene
disorders, which also
include autosomal recessive
and X-linked disorders.
They are important
clinically because of
the high risks to other
family members.
