Synonyms: Cacchi Ricci disease; Cacchi-Ricci syndrome; Cystic dilatation of renal collecting tubes; Precalyceal canalicular ectasia; Sponge kidney
SNOMED CT: Medullary sponge kidney (236443009)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:

Concept ID:
C0443147
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.
