If one parent is a carrier then the baby has a 50% chance of being born a carrier as well, but the baby will be healthy as the gene is recessive.

Is Cooley's Anemia Recessive or Dominant?

Cooley's anemia, also known as beta-thalassemia major, is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. This means that an individual needs to inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) in order to develop the condition.


Why is it impossible for an individual to inherit a recessive condition if only one parent is the carrier for that condition?

Because a recessive condition requires two copies of the gene (one from each parent) to be present in order to manifest. If only one parent is a carrier, the individual would inherit one copy of the gene, but would not develop the condition because they would need a second copy from the other parent in order for the condition to be expressed.


Is thalassemia a dominant trait?

No, thalassemia is not a dominant trait; it is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. This means that a person must inherit two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent, to exhibit the disease. Individuals with only one copy of the mutated gene are carriers and typically do not show symptoms.


How do you inherit heart disease?

Your genes and DNA will determine if you inherit a heart condition that is passed from a parent to a child. Some young men in their thirties have been known to die from an undetected heart condition because they failed to understand their fathers had the same condition and died young from the same condition. It can be apparent from birth too. Such as a congenital heart defect that passes from one parent to the child.
