As I have already mentioned in this mutation, we have a gene mutation that is dominant and the battery cells cannot work properly. This mutation appears to dominate the working copy of the gene. I have to repeat and I have to point out that it’s very rare. This could be passed on through the family in two ways: one way if the mother is affected by the condition and on the other way, if the father is affected by the condition caused by an x-linked dominant gene variety. Those are two ways that I will continue explaining in the next questions.
