Autosomal Dominant
Autosomal dominant genetic disorder?
An autosomal genetic disorder is Huntington's disease.
Does huntington's chorea disease is sex linked or inherited on autosomal genes?
Huntington's disease is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning that only one copy of the mutated gene is needed to develop the disorder. It is not linked to sex chromosomes.
Is huntington disease a autosomal dominant disorder?
Yes, Huntington's disease is an autosomal dominant disorder caused by a mutation in the HTT gene on chromosome 4. An affected individual has a 50% chance of passing on the mutated gene to each of their children.
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 Polydactyly autosomal or sex-linked?

Cystic fibrosis autosomal dominant?
hey I'm not positive but I believe that Cystic Fibrosis is autosomal. My reasonning for this is that there seems to be an equal number of females that have cystic fibrosis as there are males. I AM NOT POSITIVE.
Is cystics fibrosis is caused by a mutation that is the dominant alle of a gene?
No, cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder.
How are autosomal disorders passed down?
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.
