Single gene disorders can be: Dominant. An abnormality occurs when only one of the genes from one parent is abnormal. If the parent has the disorder, the baby has a 50 percent chance of inheriting it. Examples include the following: Achondroplasia.
In the case of autosomal dominant genes, a single abnormal gene on one of the autosomal chromosomes (one of the first 22 ânon-sexâ chromosomes) from either parent can cause the disease. One of the parents will have the disease (since it is dominant) in this mode of inheritance and that person is called the CARRIER.
