yes it can skip generations, it runs in my family but skipped me. My great aunt, uncle, aunt and my aunts second born has it but no one else. So yes it can skip generations. I've been looking into this to see if it could be traced and try to see ahead of time if it picks certian generations or is just random.

Does tay-sachs skip a generation?
Tay-Sachs disease does not skip a generation in the traditional sense, as it is a genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the HEXA gene. It is an autosomal recessive condition, meaning a child must inherit two copies of the mutated gene (one from each parent) to develop the disease. If both parents are carriers of the mutation, there is a 25% chance with each pregnancy that their child will have Tay-Sachs. Thus, while it may appear to skip a generation if a carrier has children with someone who is not a carrier, the disease itself does not skip generations genetically.
Do recessive traits have the potential to skip generations?
Yes, recessive traits can skip generations because they can be carried in the genes of individuals without being expressed in their physical characteristics.
Do autosomal dominants skip generations?
Autosomal dominant traits typically do not skip generations because affected individuals usually have a 50% chance of passing the trait on to their offspring. However, the trait may appear to skip generations if carriers of the trait do not show symptoms or if there is a lack of complete penetrance.
Is chrons disease genetic?
There is some correlation between Crohn's disease and genetic but so far there is no definitive answer. Family history often shows others in the family of a patient have had some form of bowel disease. There is a great chance of a child of a Crohn's patient developing the disease later in life but the disease seems to be able to skip generations.
Does alcoholism skip generations?
No. There is no scientific evidence to support this theory.
Does one parent have to have rh-blood if the child has it?

Can recessive traits skip generations?
Your parental genotype. AA X Bb gives two--------AB two--------Ab The recessive trait is masked in this generation. This is how recessive traits skip generations
Does achondroplasia skip a generation?
Achondroplasia, a common form of dwarfism, does not typically skip generations. It is caused by a mutation in the FGFR3 gene and is usually inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, meaning only one copy of the mutated gene is necessary for the condition to manifest. While it can appear to skip generations if a parent with achondroplasia has children with a partner who does not carry the mutation, the condition itself does not inherently skip generations in the traditional sense.
