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 sclerosing bone dysplasia combining the clinical and radiological features of melorheostosis and osteopoikilosis. The disease has been reported in some families with osteopoikilosis and with variable presentation of limb pain and deformities. Caused by a germline mutation in the LEMD3 gene (12q14), which may predispose individuals with osteopoikilosis to develop melorheostosis. Inheritance is autosomal dominant. [from SNOMEDCT_US]
