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 heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Definition

A rare genetic disease with a highly variable phenotype comprising ocular anomalies (congenital glaucoma, myopia, retinal detachment, and/or Axenfeld-Rieger anomaly), congenital hypothyroidism, hearing loss, microcephaly, dental defects, kidney anomalies, cerebrovascular anomalies and distal limb anomalies. Dysmorphic facial features may include square face with prominent jaw, broad flat nasal bridge, short philtrum and prominent ears. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
