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.

Definition

An inherited malignant tumor that originates in the nuclear layer of the retina. A predisposition to retinoblastoma has been associated with 13q14 cytogenetic abnormalities affecting the RB1 gene. Patients with the inherited form appear to be at increased risk for secondary non-ocular malignancies such as osteosarcoma, malignant fibrous histiocytoma, and fibrosarcoma. [from NCI]
