The 62 pages that link to Autosomal dominant inheritance, each with the reason it gives.

• Genetic counselingRelated: Recognizing this pattern helps explain why a variant may affect multiple generations.

• Autosomal recessive inheritanceCompared with: Unlike recessive inheritance, one altered copy can be enough to produce the condition.

• Familial hypercholesterolemiaRelated: Most familial hypercholesterolemia is inherited this way, with each affected parent having a 50% transmission chance.

• X-linked inheritanceCompared with: Unlike X-linked traits, it usually affects sexes similarly and can pass from father to son.

• Malignant hyperthermiaRelated: Susceptibility is commonly inherited this way, so it can pass through successive generations.

• Retinitis pigmentosaRelated: Some forms pass through successive generations when a single variant is sufficient.

• Huntington's diseaseRelated: One expanded HTT copy is sufficient to cause Huntington's disease.

• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathyRelated: Many disease-causing variants are passed through families in this pattern.

• Marfan syndromeNarrower topic: It explains how Marfan syndrome can pass through successive generations.

• De novo mutationRelated: A dominant disorder can appear in a child through a new variant despite no affected parent.

• Dominance (genetics)Broader topic: It is a transmission pattern often produced by dominant effects at an autosomal locus.

• SyndactylyRelated: Several inherited forms of syndactyly follow this pattern.

• HaploinsufficiencyRelated: Haploinsufficient variants often produce disease despite an intact allele.

• Genetic disorderRelated: This inheritance pattern explains disorders that can affect successive generations.

• Pedigree chartBroader topic: Affected individuals often appear in successive generations in this pattern.

• 22q11.2 deletion syndromeRelated: An affected parent can transmit the deletion, although most cases arise de novo.

• Osteogenesis imperfectaRelated: Many cases are inherited this way, though new variants also occur.

• PolydactylyRelated: Many isolated forms of polydactyly can be inherited this way.

• DiGeorge syndromeRelated: When a parent carries the deletion, each pregnancy has a 50% chance of inheriting it.

• Lynch syndromeRelated: A pathogenic variant in one mismatch-repair gene copy can confer Lynch-associated cancer risk.

• Ehlers–Danlos syndromeRelated: Many molecularly defined Ehlers–Danlos types follow this inheritance pattern.

• Hereditary spherocytosisRelated: Many cases are passed from an affected parent through dominant inheritance.

• AchondroplasiaRelated: One FGFR3 variant is sufficient, though many affected children inherit a variant from neither parent.

• Leber's hereditary optic neuropathyCompared with: It contrasts with LHON's maternal transmission through mitochondrial DNA.

• PorphyriaRelated: Several acute porphyrias are inherited this way, though many carriers never develop attacks.

• CystinuriaCompared with: Some SLC7A9-related cases show dominant transmission with incomplete penetrance, unlike the classic recessive pattern.

• Liddle syndromeRelated: Liddle syndrome commonly appears across generations through this pattern.

• Noonan syndromeRelated: Many cases follow this pattern, though a new variant is common and severity varies.

• Spinocerebellar ataxiaRelated: Many spinocerebellar ataxias pass through families in this pattern.

• X-linked dominant inheritanceCompared with: Autosomal variants can pass from father to son, unlike X-linked variants.

• Apert syndromeRelated: A single disease-causing FGFR2 variant can produce Apert syndrome.

• Familial adenomatous polyposisRelated: A person with a germline APC variant has a one-in-two chance of passing it to each child.

• Waardenburg syndromeRelated: Many Waardenburg syndrome cases follow this pattern, though inheritance varies by gene and subtype.

• Alexander diseaseRelated: Most Alexander disease cases result from de novo GFAP variants, though inherited cases occur.

• Charcot–Marie–Tooth diseaseRelated: Many CMT forms can pass from an affected parent to a child through this pattern.

• Crouzon syndromeRelated: Crouzon syndrome is commonly inherited this way, though new variants also occur.

• Myotonic dystrophyRelated: Each main form can be passed from an affected parent to a child.

• Pfeiffer syndromeRelated: Pfeiffer syndrome can pass from an affected parent to a child through this pattern.

• Alagille syndromeNarrower topic: Alagille syndrome is usually inherited in this pattern, though new variants are common.

• AniridiaRelated: Many familial cases of PAX6-related aniridia follow this inheritance pattern.

• Hereditary spastic paraplegiaRelated: Many common forms follow this pattern, though inheritance varies among subtypes.

• Hypokalemic periodic paralysisRelated: The classic inherited form often passes through families in this pattern.

• Loeys–Dietz syndromeRelated: Many Loeys–Dietz syndrome cases follow this pattern, although new variants also occur.

• Peutz–Jeghers syndromeRelated: A single inherited STK11 variant can predispose someone to the syndrome.

• Von Hippel–Lindau diseaseRelated: VHL disease is usually inherited this way, though new variants also occur.

• Amelogenesis imperfectaRelated: Some forms of amelogenesis imperfecta follow this inheritance pattern.

• Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney diseaseNarrower topic: Affected individuals typically have a one-in-two chance of passing a disease-causing variant to each child.

• Dominant traitBroader topic: It is a common inheritance pattern for traits expressed with one contributing allele.

• EctrodactylyRelated: Some inherited forms of split-hand/foot malformation follow this pattern, with variable expression.

• Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasiaNarrower topic: Most cases follow this pattern, giving each child of an affected parent a 50% chance of inheriting the variant.
