A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Definition

A rare, hereditary endocrine tumor characterized by a benign pituitary adenoma that is either secreting (e.g. prolactin, growth hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone) or non-secreting. Symptoms may occur due to either the hormonal hypersecretion and/or the mass effect of the lesion on local structures in the brain. [from ORDO]
