Modes of Inheritance

Description

In this segment, the speaker emphasizes the importance of understanding the genetic basis of various dysplasias during examinations. They note that many dysplasias are autosomal dominant, providing examples such as achondroplasia, hypochondroplasia, and osteogenesis imperfecta, as well as multiple exostosis. The speaker suggests that recognizing the autosomal dominant pattern can be a useful strategy for identifying the likely genetic origins of skeletal abnormalities, helping to inform medical assessments and diagnoses related to dysplastic conditions.
