Kidney Disease: Genetic Disorders?


Genetic Disorders?I need to know whether the following disorders are autosomal or sexlinked AND if theyre dominant or recessive:

Alzheimer's
Fragile X
Phenylketonuria (PKU)
Turner syndrome

Autism
Werner's syndrome
Hemophilia
Polycystic kidney disease

Any help would be great, so if you don't know them all please help with whatever you can :)

Posted by Brian B
Alzheimers is polygenic (many genes)
Fragile X is X linked recessive
PKU is recessive
Turner Syndrome is chromosomal, not at the gene level
autism is probably polygenic
Werner's is autosomal recessive
hemophilia is X linked recessive
PKD comes in an AR (recessive) and an AD (dominant) form
