The following pedigree illustrates the inheritance of Nance–Horan syndrome, a rare genetic condition in which affected people have cataracts and abnormally shaped teeth.
Neurofibromatosis-1 (NF1) is an autosomal dominant disorder where tumours form in the base layer of the skin or in nerve tissues. What is the probability that individuals II-1 and II-2 will have a genetic son with NF1? Find the image attached.
Achondroplasia is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by disproportionate short stature: the legs and arms of people with achondroplasia are short compared with the head and trunk. The disorder is due to a base substitution in the gene, located on the short arm of chromosome 4, that encodes fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3). Although achondroplasia is clearly inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, more than 80% of the people who have achondroplasia are born to parents with normal stature. This high percentage indicates that most cases are caused by newly arising mutations; these cases (not inherited from an affected parent) are referred to as sporadic. Studies have demonstrated that sporadic cases of achondroplasia are almost always caused by mutations inherited from the father (paternal mutations). In addition, the occurrence of achondroplasia is higher among the children of older fathers; approximately 50% of children with achondroplasia are born to fathers…

Please consider the following pedigree. Assume that people who marry in to the family do not carry the allele unless otherwise indicated. Assume complete penetrance. I II 5 6 III 6 IV 1 2 a. Is it possible for the inheritance pattern for the trait illustrated in this pedigree to be as a result of each of the following? Answer yes or no. (i) an autosomal recessive allele (AR) (ii) an autosomal dominant allele (AD) (iii) a X-linked recessive allele (XR) (iv) a X-linked dominant allele (XD) b. Provide a genotype for individual III-6 for the most likely mode of inheritance as determined in (a).
Charles has achondroplasia dwarfism (autosomal dominant) but his wife is normal. What is the likelihood that they will have a child with achondroplasia dwarfism? What is the likelihood that they will have embryos that will die from achondroplasia dwarfism? Please explain.
Refer to the pedigree below which shows inheritance for achondroplasia (dwarfism), a dominantly inherited trait (denoted as D), which are the darkened circles and squares. Dwarfism (darkened shapes) are dominantly inherited, while normal height is recessively inherited (hh). Based on the pedigree, what is the correct genotype for individual #II-6?

Sickle cell anemia is inherited as an autosomal recessive condition. It also exhibits incomplete dominance in that the heterozygous genotype displays a mild form of the disease known as sickle cell trait while individuals with the homozygous recessive genotype have a severe form of SCA. A man who has severe sickle cell anemia marries a woman who suffers from a mild trait. What is the probabilitu they will have a child with severe SCA?What is the probability they will have a child with mild SCA? What is the probability they will have a normal child?

The autosomal (not X-linked) gene for brachydactyly, short fingers, is dominant to normal finger length. Assume that a female with brachydactyly in the heterozygous condition is married to a man with normal fingers. What is the probability that(a) their first child will have brachydactyly?(b) their first two children will have brachydactyly?(c) their first child will be a brachydactylous girl?
Ectrodactyly is a rare condition in which the fingers are absent, and the hand is split. It is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. What do the double horizontal lines mean between III-1 and III-4? Is the pedigree below consistent with autosomal dominant inheritance?
