Carrier Spinal Muscular Atrophy
Based on your genetics, your genetic predisposition for Spinal Muscular Atrophy is
What does this mean?
Your genotype indicates that you do not carry the genetic mutation of Spinal muscular atrophy.
How Is Your Genetic Risk Calculated?
This result is based on the SNPs(single nucleotide polymorphism)that are associated with Spinal Muscular Atrophy.
Possible Inheritance Modes for Spinal Muscular Atrophy
There are multiple inheritance modes of Spinal Muscular Atrophy. Inheritance mode is how a gene will be passed down from parent to offspring.
Autosomal Recessive
The mutated gene is a recessive gene located on one of the non-sex chromosomes (autosomes). You can get the disease if inheritance both copies of abnormal mutation from your parent.
Autosomal Dominant
The mutated gene is a dominant gene located on one of the non-sex chromosomes (autosomes). You can get the disease if inheritance the abnormal mutation from only one parent.
X Recessive
X-linked recessive disorders are also caused by mutations in genes on the X chromosome. In males (who have only one X chromosome), one altered copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the condition. In females (who have two X chromosomes), a mutation would have to occur in both copies of the gene to cause the disorder. Because it is unlikely that females will have two altered copies of this gene, males are affected by X-linked recessive disorders much more frequently than females.
