About Inherited Disease Testing

Inherited diseases, also known as genetic disorders, are caused by one or more abnormalities in the human genome, and occur when an altered gene is passed from a parent to a child.

There are two main ways in which genetic diseases are referred to. They are dominant inheritance and recessive inheritance.

  • When a disorder is dominant, there is a 50% chance that the gene will be passed on to the child from the parent.
  • When a disorder is recessive, the gene will only manifest if 2 copies of the gene are inherited, one from each parent. A child with a recessive gene has a 25% chance of inheriting both copies of the defective gene and a 50% chance of inheriting just one copy of the defective gene from either parent.
