Autosomal dominant is one way that genetic traits pass from one parent to their child. When a trait is autosomal dominant, only one parent needs to have an altered gene to pass it on. Half of the children of a parent with an autosomal trait will get that trait. Only changes that occur in the DNA of the sperm or egg can be passed on to children from their parents.
Autosomal recessive is a pattern of inheritance. If a parent has an autosomal recessive trait, they'll show no symptoms. In order to pass it on to their children, both parents need to carry the trait. But because they don’t have any symptoms, they often don’t even know they have it. Both parents need to pass an altered gene onto their child for their child to inherit the genetic condition or trait in an autosomal recessive pattern. One quarter of children will get an autosomal recessive gene if both parents have it. Only changes that occur in the DNA of the sperm or egg can be passed on to children from their parents.
Autosomal means that a specific gene is not on a sex chromosome and is a numbered chromosome. Humans have 46 total chromosomes. Each of your parents gives you 23 chromosomes via the egg or sperm, for a total of 46. There are two sex chromosomes (X and Y) and 22 numbered chromosomes. The numbered chromosomes are the only chromosomes that use autosomal inheritance patterns.
Traits are passed from the sperm and egg. Genetic material consists of:
Chromosomes are made up of DNA, and chunks of that DNA form chromosomes. That DNA holds your genetic code. You receive one copy of a gene from each parent, creating a pair. Those genes are in your cells, which divide and copy themselves until your body has enough cells to make up all of your body. When the cells divide, the chromosomes and genes should stay the same in each cell of the same line. Sometimes during division there's a mistake in the division of genetic material. That's called a mutation. It may change the function of the cell it's in. The total of all of the genes in your whole body is your genome.
Inherited traits determine your physical characteristics, including how you look and what makes you unique.
Sometimes, you can inherit genes that have altered DNA (genetic mutation) that form as a result of a copying mistake during cell division. Mutations may lead to genetic conditions that affect how your cells form and function, but they don’t always. Some genes can mutate and not cause disease, and some can cause serious illness if they mutate.
DNA lives in every cell in your body — generally in the nucleus, which is the control center of the cell. Trillions of cells make up who you are.
Your DNA is made of four bases: adenine (A), cytosine (C), thymine (T) and guanine (G). The bases form pairs (base pairs): A with T and C with G. The base pairs connect with a sugar molecule and a phosphate molecule (forming a nucleotide) that create a spiral staircase (double helix). The base pairs form the steps and the sugar and phosphate molecules are the rails.
A genetic mutation can happen during cell division or if the cell is exposed to something toxic. A mutation is a change in DNA’s double helix structure. This means that a gene isn't where it's supposed to be on a chromosome. Mutations can be caused by:
Genetic disorders that follow a pattern of autosomal dominant inheritance include:
Genetic disorders that follow a pattern of autosomal recessive inheritance include:
There are multiple ways to test for genetic problems. A genetic test identifies changes to your genes, chromosomes or proteins. Genetic testing can locate mutated genes that cause genetic conditions. These tests help parents who plan on having children understand their risk of passing a genetic condition to their child.
It's not possible to determine which genes to pass on to children, so it isn’t possible to prevent genetic conditions from passing to your children. To better understand your risk of passing a specific genetic condition that runs in your family, talk with your healthcare provider about genetic testing and speak with a genetic counselor who can walk you through the test results.
Your parents give you the traits that make you unique. Genetic conditions are passed in a variety of different ways. If you plan on becoming pregnant and want to understand your risk of passing a specific gene or genetic condition to your child, talk with your healthcare provider about genetic testing or genetic counseling.

Autosomal dominant inheritance pattern
In an autosomal dominant disorder, the altered gene is a dominant gene located on one of the nonsex chromosomes (autosomes). You need only one altered gene to be affected by this type of disorder. A person with an autosomal dominant disorder — in this case, the father — has a 50% chance of having an affected child with one altered gene (dominant gene) and a 50% chance of having an unaffected child with two typical genes (recessive genes).

Autosomal dominant inheritance is a type of genetic inheritance and it explains the way in which a gene mutation is passed down from parent to child.
When it comes to autosomal dominant inheritance , just one copy of the gene mutation is enough to cause the related rare disease or genetic syndrome.
This consequently means that a child, with one parent with a gene mutation, has a 50% chance of inheriting the same gene mutation. This means they have a 50% chance of inheriting and developing the related genetic disorder caused by the gene mutation.
Genes associated with autosomal inheritance are located on the autosomes – one of the 22 non-sex chromosomes. This means prevalence is equal amongst males and females.
Huntington’s disease is one example of an autosomal dominant disorder. This genetic condition leads to the degeneration of the body’s brain and nerve cells. It affects mainly older adults, and leads to the deterioration of their mental and physical abilities. Early symptoms of this genetic disorder include memory lapses, stumbling, depression and mood swings. There is no current cure for this disorder, and it is usually fatal within 10-25 years of the first onset of symptoms.
Marfan syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder. It affects the body’s connective tissue, and one of its main symptoms is over-flexible joints. Affected individuals are characterized by their tall and thin stature. Marfan is also usually not diagnosed until later in adulthood. A mutation in the FBN1 gene is responsible for causing the syndrome.
BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations, which are believed to cause higher risk of breast cancer, are also inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.
Genetic counseling concerning autosomal dominant inheritance can take many forms.
-Help individuals and families understand what it is, and how it might affect the future genetic and overall health of their children (both born and future)
-Help individuals and families explore genetic carrier screening options , in order to evaluate risk of passing down a specific genetic mutation to children, and the potential chance for developing a rare syndrome
-If parents have undergone carrier screening, genetic counseling can help them understand what their results mean, and if as the carrier of an autosomal dominant gene mutation, what this means for their own, and their future children’s health
-It can help support families who have received a diagnosis of an autosomal dominant syndrome, and help them understand what this means in terms of management and care both in the short and long term
Genetic counseling is an important part of the diagnosis process for all rare diseases, regardless of how they are inherited.
