•
Disease or Syndrome
Synonym: Dysphasia, Familial Developmental
SNOMED CT: Familial developmental dysphasia (721220004); Billard Toutain Maheut syndrome (721220004)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance

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 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.
Autosomal dominant inheritance (Orphanet)
 
Monarch Initiative: MONDO:0010821
OMIM®: 600117
Orphanet: ORPHA1799

Definition

A severe form of developmental verbal apraxia with characteristics of a deficit in spontaneous speech, writing, grammatical judgment and repetition, defective articulation, moderate to severe degree of dyspraxia, a reduced use of consonant clusters and comprehension delay. Hearing and intelligence are normal. Inheritance is autosomal dominant with full penetrance. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
