DOMINANT GENETIC CONDITION Meaning and Definition

1. A dominant genetic condition refers to a hereditary disorder that is caused by the presence of a single dominant gene variant. This means that only one copy of the abnormal gene, inherited from either one of the parents, is sufficient to result in the manifestation of the condition. Individuals who carry this gene variant have a 50% chance of passing it on to their offspring.

   In the context of genetics, dominance refers to the interaction between two copies of a gene, one inherited from each parent. In a dominant genetic condition, the presence of the abnormal gene variant overrides the effect of the normal counterpart, causing the condition to be expressed. Consequently, individuals with this condition typically display symptoms associated with the disorder.

   It is important to note that dominant genetic conditions do not skip generations, as affected individuals will always pass on their affected gene variant to their children. However, not all individuals carrying a dominant gene variant will necessarily exhibit symptoms of the condition. This is because some traits may have reduced penetrance or variable expressivity, meaning that the severity or presence of symptoms can vary among affected individuals.

   Some well-known examples of dominant genetic conditions include Huntington's disease, Marfan syndrome, and neurofibromatosis. Genetic counseling is often recommended for individuals and families with a history or risk of dominant genetic conditions to assess the potential risks and to offer guidance regarding reproductive options, early detection, management, and treatment of these conditions.
