Modes of Inheritance

Description

Professor Dan Perry gives his expert insights and emphasizes the importance of understanding the genetic basis of various dysplasias during examinations. He notes that many dysplasias are autosomal dominant, providing examples such as achondroplasia, hypochondroplasia, and osteogenesis imperfecta, as well as multiple exostosis. Professor Perry 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.
