- Autosomal dominant
- Genes are paired, with one contributed by each parent. A dominant gene is one whose instructions, even if defective, can override those of the other gene in the pair. The child of a parent with an autosomal dominant genetic disorder, such as Huntington disease, has a 50 percent risk of inheriting the disorder.
