Mode of Genetic Inheritance: Auto Rec
Name: Kendall H. According to “mayo clinic”, The mode of genetic inheritance for Hereditary Hemochromatosis is, autosomal recessive pattern. Autosomal recessive pattern is when you inherit two mutated genes, one from each parent. These disorders are usually passed on by two carriers. For each child expectancy, the biological parents of the single offspring have a 25 percent chance of having an unaffected child with two dominant genes meaning they are homozygous dominant, a 50 percent chance of having an unaffected child who is also a carrier, meaning they are heterozygous. Lastly, there is a 25 percent chance of having an affected child with two recessive genes, meaning they are homozygous recessive. |
All of the children are affected because they inherited two affected genes.
