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 genetic peripheral neuropathy disorder due to gain-of-function mutations in voltage-gated sodium channels present in the small peripheral nerve fibres characterised by neuropathic pain of varying intensity (often beginning in the distal extremities and with a burning quality) associated with autonomic dysfunction (for example orthostatic dizziness, palpitations, dry eyes and mouth), abnormal quantitative sensory testing and reduction in intraepidermal nerve fibre density. Large fibre functions (such as normal strength, tendon reflexes and vibration sense) and nerve conduction studies are typically normal. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
