its ressesive
I was doing a presentation on Canavan Disease and had a lot of trouble finding wether it was dominant or recessive. I found the answer and thought i should make it easier for others. Canavan Disease is recessive
Yes, Canavan disease is an inherited genetic disorder caused by mutations in the ASPA gene. It is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, meaning that an individual must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to develop the disease.
Wilson's disease is recessive
It is Dominant.

Canavan disease is not a sex-linked genetic disorder. It is an autosomal recessive disorder, meaning that both parents must pass on a copy of the mutated gene in order for an individual to inherit the disease.
Huntington's disease is caused by a dominant allele
A person who has one dominant and one recessive copy of a disease gene is typically considered to be affected by the condition if the disease is caused by the dominant allele. In this case, the dominant allele's effects will manifest, overshadowing the recessive allele. The individual may not express traits associated with the recessive allele, as the dominant trait takes precedence.
Canavan disease is named after Dr. Myrtelle Canavan
