Preceding page
Factors indicating autosomal dominant inheritance.
- 1. Affected individuals occur in every generation
- 2. Affected offspring must have at least one affected parent
- 3. Normal offspring of affected parents get normal offspring
- 4. The population frequency is the same in males as in females
