Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in individuals with two pathogenic alleles, either homozygotes (two copies of the same mutant allele) or compound heterozygotes (whereby each copy of a gene has a distinct mutant allele).

Definition

A rare autosomal recessive microcephalic primordial dwarfism with characteristics of congenital microcephaly and craniofacial features associated with a spectrum of limb abnormalities ranging from mild to severe. Short stature is frequently observed and often is severe. The disorder is due to bi-allelic mutations in the downstream neighbour of SON, DONSON (21q22.11), a replisome component that stabilises forks during genome replication. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
