🧬Did you know that many corneal dystrophies are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern? This means if a parent has the condition, each of their children has a 50% chance of inheriting it too. It's like flipping a coin for every child. That's why understanding your family's eye health history is so important. If corneal dystrophy runs in your family, consider discussing genetic counseling and regular eye screenings for early detection and management. #eyewellness #eyesight #visionproblems #visioncare #eyedisease #eyetreatment

This is why men more prone to genetic disorders than females More than 100 X-linked inherited human disorders or traits have now been identified (Table 1). Most of them are classified as recessive , a much smaller number as dominant and a few as dominant and lethal in hemizygotes. Due to their particular mode of inheritance, X-linked diseases have a more significant place in genetic counselling than would be thought from the relative contribution of the X chromosome to the human genome.
