* Autosomal dominant, a classification of genetic traits

** Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease afflicts patients later in life.

** Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is far less common, but more severe, than the dominant condition.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (" ADPKD ", " autosomal dominant PKD " or " Adult-onset PKD ") is an inherited systemic disorder that predominantly affects the kidneys, but may affect other organs including the liver, pancreas, brain, and arterial blood vessels.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease occurs worldwide and affects about 1 in 400 to 1 in 1000 people.

Autosomal dominant transmission is rare and only accounts for 5 % of affected patients. The clinical features of autosomal dominant Alport syndrome are similar to those of X-linked disease.

Autosomal dominant inheritance means that the defective gene responsible for a disorder is located on an autosome ( chromosome 17 is an autosome ), and only one copy of the gene is sufficient to cause the disorder, when inherited from a parent who has the disorder.

Three DNA types are of particular interest: mitochondrial DNA that we all possess and that is passed down with only minor mutations through the matrilineal ( direct female ) line ; the Y-chromosome, present only in males, which is passed down with only minor mutations through the patrilineal ( direct male ) line ; and the Autosomal DNA, which is found in the 22 non-gender specific chromosomes ( autosomes ) inherited from both parents, which can uncover relatives from any branch of the family.

Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease is a distinct disease that also leads to cysts in the kidneys and liver, typically presents in childhood, only affects about 1 in 20, 000 people < ref name =" Zerres_1998 "> and has different causes and prognosis.

Autosomal recessive or autorecessive is a mode of inheritance of genetic traits located on the autosomes ( the 22 non-sex determining chromosomes ).

Autosomal recessive ( as found, for example, in Alström syndrome ), X-linked ( as in Duchenne muscular dystrophy ), and mitochondrial inheritance of the disease is also found.

A 2009 study of Autosomal DNA ( which is inherited from both parents ) by Tishkoff et al.

It is inherited in an Autosomal Dominant manner, such that the child of a parent with the disease has a 50 / 50 chance of inheriting the condition

Notch signaling is dysregulated in many cancers, and faulty notch signaling is implicated in many diseases including T-ALL ( T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia ), CADASIL ( Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Sub-cortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy ), MS ( Multiple Sclerosis ), Tetralogy of Fallot, Alagille syndrome, and many other disease states.

Treacher Collins syndrome is inherited in an Autosomal dominant | autosomal-dominant pattern.

Autosomal traits are associated with a single gene on an autosome ( non-sex chromosome )— they are called " dominant " because a single copy — inherited from either parent — is enough to cause this trait to appear.

Autosomal recessive traits is one pattern of inheritance for a trait, disease, or disorder to be passed on through families.

* Autosomal dominant inheritance, where one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder, is especially associated with C2-C3 fusion.

* Autosomal recessive inheritance, where both copies of a gene contain mutations, is especially associated with C5-C6 fusion.

Autosomal dominant inheritance indicates that the defective gene responsible for a disorder is located on an autosome ( chromosome 7 is an autosome ), and only one copy of the gene is sufficient to cause the disorder, when inherited from a parent who has the disorder.

Autosomal recessive inheritance means the defective gene responsible for the disorder is located on an autosome, but two copies of the defective gene ( one inherited from each parent ) are required in order to be born with the disorder.

Autosomal dominant inheritance indicates that the defective gene responsible for a disorder is located on an autosome, and only one copy of the gene is sufficient to cause the disorder, when inherited from a parent who has the disorder.

* Autosomal recessive proximal spinal muscular atrophy, responsible for 90-95 % of cases and usually called simply spinal muscular atrophy ( SMA ) – a disorder associated with a genetic mutation on the SMN1 gene on chromosome 5q ( locus 5q13 ), affecting people of any age but in its most severe form being the most common genetic cause of infant death ;

Autosomal " atDNA " markers are also used, but differ from mtDNA or Y-DNA in that they overlap significantly.

Trisomies are sometimes characterised as " Autosomal trisomies " ( trisomies of the non-sex chromosomes ) and " Sex-chromosome trisomies.

" Autosomal trisomies are described by referencing the specific chromosome that has an extra copy.

Autosomal trisomy can be associated with birth defects, mental retardation and shortened life expectancy.

Autosomal recessive disorders occur in individuals who are homozygous for a particular recessive gene mutation.

In the study of Malagasy Autosomal DNA shows the highlanders ethic group like Merina are almost an even mixture of Asian and Bantu origin, while the Coastal ethnic group have much higher Bantu mixture in their autosomal DNA suggesting they are mixture of new Bantu migrants and the already established highlander ethnic group.

Autosomal recessive and dominant, X-linked, and acquired forms have all been described.
