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 hereditary amyloidosis with primary renal involvement characterized by variable onset of renal insufficiency with edema, hypertension, proteinuria, and azotemia, eventually leading to end-stage renal disease. Amyloid cardiomyopathy and histopathological evidence of amyloid deposition in other organs, such as the spleen, liver, adrenal glands, and pancreas, among others, have also been described. [from ORDO]
