Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Definition

A rare, hereditary amyloidosis with primary renal involvement characterized by renal interstitial and medullary deposition of amyloid, low plasma levels of ApoA-1 and slow disease progression. Main clinical signs and symptoms are hypertension, proteinuria, hematuria and edema due to chronic renal insufficiency leading to end stage renal disease. Hepatosplenomegaly, progressive cardiomyopathy and involvement of skin, testes and adrenals (hypergonadotropic hypogonadism) have also been reported. [from ORDO]
