The most current research suggests that the ridge mutation is autosomal dominant with complete penetrance.
2.
A condition which shows complete penetrance is neurofibromatosis type 1-every person who has a mutation in the gene will show symptoms of the condition.
3.
The large phenotypic spectrum due to the mutation of Pitx2 may be attributed to a variety of factors including : different genetic backgrounds, epigenetic modifiers and delayed / complete penetrance.
4.
A condition, most commonly inherited in an autosomal dominant manner, is said to show complete penetrance if clinical symptoms are present in all individuals who have the disease-causing mutation.
5.
Most display complete penetrance, but a common mutation is Glu318Gly and this predisposes individuals to familial Alzheimer disease, with a study by Taddei ( 2002 ) finding an incidence of 8.7 % in patients with familial AD.
6.
Males with a full mutation display virtually complete penetrance and will therefore almost always display symptoms of FXS, while females with a full mutation generally display a penetrance of about 50 % as a result of having a second, normal X chromosome.
