the disorder is usually either autosomal recessive or autosomal dominant. they are passed down from the parents to the next generation. autosomal reccessive diseases only are when one parent gives one reccessive allele and the other parent gives the other reccessive allele. A dominant autosomal disorder can be inherited with one or two of the alleles.

What is an autosomal dominant disorder?
Chromosomes can be divided into autosomes and sex chromosomes. The sex chromosomes (eg X and Y in humans) carry genes concerned with sex determination. The remaining chromosomes are called autosomes. They carry genes which are the same in males and females. Aberrations are changes or mutations in the chromosomes. So autosomal aberrations are mutations in the non-sex chromosomes.
What disorders are influenced strongly by genetics?
There are a number of disorders that are passed down through genetics. Some examples are Lupus, MS, and Sickle Cell Anemia.
Who can be carrier of autosomal disorder?
females
Is recessive disorders mostly passed from mothers to sons?
No. Recessive genetic traits (not all are defined as disorders) can be passed from either parent.
How do you detect if you have down syndrome?
Autosomal means that it concerns an autosome--a chromosome other than a sex chromosome. Down syndrome is caused by an additional copy of the 21st chromosome. Since the 21st chromosome is not a sex chromosome, Down syndrome is autosomal.

What autosomal disorders in humans are controlled by dominant alleles?
Dominant allele disorders are single gene disorders which take effect in the heterozygous state.

Is Williams syndrome dominant or recessive?

Is sickle cell disease autosomal or x-linked or chromosomal?
Sickle cell is a sex-linked trait, If some one is a carrier than the trait is passed down on that chromosome.
Who can be carrier of autosomal disorder?
females
Why do X linked genes have a different inheritance pattern than autosomal disorders?
Because ur stupid
What are autosomal dominant inherited disorders?
An autosomal disorder is one which is caused by a gene or genes on an autosome - a non-sex chromosome. Dominant means that if one allele for the disorder is present, then the person will have the disorder. For example, if H is the allele for Huntington's disease and a person has Hh - they will have the disease. Examples of autosomal dominant disorders are; Huntington's disease, Romano-Ward syndrome, Timothy syndrome and Jackson-Weiss syndrome.
Is achondroplasia sex linked or autosomal?
It's an autosomal dominant disease. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Achondroplasia
How common are inherited disorders?
Its not unheard of. It depends on what the disorder is. For example: bipolar disorder is pretty commonly passed down. But there are some ways that it will actually skip a person and get passed on to their child.
