Quiz zum Vortrag
What is the likely reason that autosomal dominant disorders do not get selected out and persist in the population?
- Most of these disorders do not manifest until after puberty making it easy for the gene to be passed to the next generation.
- Most of these disorders are diagnosed in childhood and the patients receive better care.
- Most autosomal dominant disorders need two copies of the gene to manifest so carriers can transfer the genes unknowingly.
- Most autosomal dominant disorders are passed to the next generation via maternal mitochondrial inheritance so all progeny receive a copy of the affected gene.
- Genomic imprinting only allows the affected gene to be transferred inside the gamete.
