   Apr 19, 2021 · Some genetic conditions are caused by variants (also known as mutations) in a single gene. These conditions are usually inherited in one of several patterns, depending on the gene involved: Many health conditions are caused by the combined effects of multiple genes (described as polygenic) or by interactions between genes and the environment.

   Inheritance Pattern	Description	Examples
   Autosomal dominant	One altered copy of the gene in each cell ...	Huntington's disease, Marfan syndrome
   Autosomal recessive	In autosomal recessive inheritance, ...	cystic fibrosis, sickle cell disease
   X-linked dominant	X-linked dominant disorders are caused by ...	fragile X syndrome
   X-linked recessive	X-linked recessive disorders are also ...	hemophilia, Fabry disease

   Some disorders that affect multiple family members are caused by gene variants (also known as mutations), which can be inherited (passed down from parent to child). Other conditions that appear to run in families are not caused by variants in single genes.

   How are genetic conditions inherited?

   • Some genetic conditions are caused by variants (also known as mutations) in a single gene. These conditions are usually inherited in one of several patterns, depending on the gene involved: One altered copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient for a person to be affected by an autosomal dominant disorder.

   What factors influence how a disorder is inherited?

   • Other genetic factors sometimes influence how a disorder is inherited. For an example, please see What are genomic imprinting and uniparental disomy? Conditions caused by genetic variants (mutations) are usually passed down to the next generation in certain ways. Learn more about these patterns.

   What causes genetic disorders?

   • Genetic disorders occur when a mutation (a harmful change to a gene, also known as a pathogenic variant) affects your genes or when you have the wrong amount of genetic material. Genes are made of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid), which contain instructions for cell functioning and the characteristics that make you unique.

   Can a person inherit a disease?

   • For example, Huntington's disease, breast cancer, and autoimmune diseases are associated with specific genes, but a person who inherits them won't necessarily develop these conditions. On the other hand, some genetic mutations, such as those linked to hemophilia, will always manifest the disorder.

   What factors influence the likelihood a person will inherit a genetic disorder?

   • Two primary factors influence the likelihood a person will inherit a genetic disorder: A genetic mutation is a change In a genetic code. Because of the altered genetic code, the body might: Lack a normal protein, such as an enzyme, and this absence of a normal function can cause a disease to develop.

   What are genetic disorders?

   • Genetic disorders are health problems that happen because of some type of abnormality in a person's genetic material. There are several types of genetic disorders. In some cases, a genetic change in a single gene can cause someone to have a disease or condition.

   Some disorders are caused by a mutation on the X chromosome and have X-linked inheritance. Very few disorders are inherited on the Y chromosome or mitochondrial DNA (due to their size). [3] There are well over 6,000 known genetic disorders, [4] and new genetic disorders are constantly being described in medical literature. [5] .
