Modes of inheritance:

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

Familial autosomal dominant form of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia, a heart muscle disease with life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias and left bundle branch block configuration that may manifest with palpitations, ventricular tachycardia, syncope and sudden fatal attacks. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
