CS is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. In order for a child to be affected by CS, he or she must inherit a mutation (-) in the same CS gene from both parents. The parents and other "carriers" of a single CS gene mutation remain healthy. Once a couple are known to carriers, they have a 1 in 4 (25%) chance of having another child with CS.

How is Treacher Collins Syndrome passed from parent to offspring?
This syndrome is caused by a new mutation in one or two genes in 60% of the cases. These are not inherited. The other 20% are inherited if one parent carries the mutated gene. In the final 20% both parents have to carry a different gene for their offspring to have the syndrome. In this case neither parent show any signs or symptoms.
Can a mutation be passed on to offspring?
Not usually. Only In certain circumstances, can a mutation be passed on to offspring; such as Downs-syndrome.

What is one characteristic passed from parent to offspring through genes?

Can mutations be passed from parent to offspring How?
Yes, mutations can be passed from parent to offspring through genetic inheritance. Mutations are changes in the DNA sequence that can be inherited if they occur in the germline cells (sperm or egg cells) of an individual. These mutations can then be passed on to future generations.

The likelihood of a trait being passed of from parent to offspring?
heritability.
How are mutations passed down from parent to offspring?
Mutations can be passed from parent to offspring only by mutations found in genes. These genetic mutations can be hereditary. Chromosomal mutations only occur in one person and cannot be passed on to the offspring.
