Autosomal dominant is one of several ways that a trait or disorder can be passed down through families. If a disease is autosomal dominant, it means you only need to get the abnormal gene from one parent in order for you to inherit the disease.

Autosomal dominant nocturnal frontal lobe epilepsy is a rare, inherited syndrome that usually occurs during childhood, typically around age 11. However, onset varies widely within families.

Autosomal dominant
Autosomal dominance is a pattern of inheritance of a trait or disease through genes carried on chromosomes other than the sex chromosomes.

Autosomal dominant
A pattern of inheritance that involves genes that are located on autosomes (not sex chromosomes). In autosomal dominant inheritance, you only need to inherit one copy of a particular form of a gene in order to show that trait.
