Is Rett syndrome dominant or recessive?
Rett syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that is typically caused by a mutation in the MECP2 gene located on the X chromosome. It is not classified as dominant or recessive in the traditional sense because it primarily affects individuals with two X chromosomes. It is considered an X-linked dominant disorder with variable expressivity and reduced penetrance.
Which alleles would a sufferer have?
A sufferer of a genetic disorder would typically have two copies of a recessive allele (homozygous recessive) for that particular trait or condition. For dominant conditions, they would have at least one copy of the dominant allele (homozygous dominant or heterozygous). The specific alleles involved depend on the disorder in question.
What is a Co-dominant alleles disorder?
One example is Huntington's Disease. With a recessive genetic disorder, to develop the disorder, you must inherit the gene from BOTH parents (odds, 1 in 4). With a dominant gene disorder, if you inherit the gene from ONE parent, you will develop that disorder (odds- 1 in 2).
Is pku sex linked recessive or sex dominant?
I think I read somewhere that there are some variants of it that are recessive and others that are dominant.
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene which if any will have the disorder?
If a genetic disorder is carried on a recessive gene, offspring will only have the disorder if both parents have the recessive gene.
Is a hybrid disorder recessive or dominant?
Recessive
Is cystic fibrosis a dominant or co-dominant disorder?
It is autosomal recessive and it is not a disorder! Cystic Fibrosis is a disease.
Is progressive retina atrophy a recessive or dominant genetic disorder?
Progressive Retina Atrophy is a dominant genetic disorder.
Is turners recessive or dominant?
It is neither recessive nor dominant because it is a chromosomal disorder and not just a problem present in a single gene.
Is aspergers a dominant or a recessive?
No. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder
Is sickle cell an dominant or recessive?

What is colour blindness recessive?
Yes, Color Blindness is recessive, Not dominant. :)
Is progeria a recessive or dominant disorder?
yes it is, only 1 mutation to the lmna gene is sufficent for someone to express traits regarding progeria
Is cystic fibrosis dominant or recessive?
Cystic Fibrosis is recessive. If you have one CF gene and one non-CF gene, you will be a carrier but not have CF.
