The mode of inheritance (e.g., autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive) determines the likelihood of passing on a genetic trait to offspring and influences the probability of inheritance in a family. Understanding the mode of inheritance is crucial in predicting the risk of inheriting a specific trait or disorder, as well as in genetic counseling and family planning. Inheritance patterns can be more easily analyzed and predicted when the mode of inheritance is known, aiding in the identification and management of genetic conditions within families.
no
Autosomal recessive.
Polygenic inheritance is the least prevalent mode of inheritance because it involves multiple genes contributing to a single trait and is influenced by environmental factors, making it more complex and less common than other simpler modes like Mendelian inheritance.
autosomal recessive
the treatment of hydrocephalus
Conditions responsible for hydrocephalus in a fetus include infantile congenital (present at birth) hydrocephalus, hydrocephalus associated with encephalocele or myelomeningocele, posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus in newborns.
the treatment of hydrocephalus
I have hydrocephalus and its not "viral" hydrocephalus, its congenital (i believe that's how its spelled.) anyways congenital hydrocephalus is present or detected at birth without it being in your ancestry. Genetic hydrocephalus means it was passed on from a generation or family member before you.
Hydrocephalus is a collection of fluid, it is not a tumor.
This patient's operative hydrocephalus, for which a stent was implanted for drainage.
The modes of inheritance are y-linked, x-linked, and mitochondrial. Inherited traits can then be recessive, dominant, or autosomal depending on how they are inherited.
