Intellectual Product

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

Hyperlipoproteinemia type III, also called dysbetalipoproteinemia, is characterized by hyperlipidemia due to accumulation of remnants of the triglyceride (TG)-rich lipoproteins (TGRL), very low density lipoproteins (VLDL), and chylomicrons (CM), in response to dysfunctional genetic variants of apolipoprotein E or absence of apoE (summary by Blum, 2016). [from OMIM]
