Single-gene diseases run in families and can be dominant or recessive, and autosomal or sex-linked. Pedigree analyses of large families with many affected members are very useful for determining the inheritance pattern of single-gene diseases. Table 1 includes some examples of single-gene diseases.or example, identical twins with the same mutation in the gene associated with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, called DMD, can exhibit strikingly different disease phenotypes due to different patterns of X chromosome inactivation (Abbadi et al.
1 Single gene inheritance -- Also called Mendelian or monogenic inheritance. 2  This type of inheritance is caused by changes or mutations that occur in the DNA sequence of a single gene. 3  There are more than 6,000 known single-gene disorders, which occur in about 1 out of every 200 births.ost genetic diseases are the direct result of a mutation in one gene. However, one of the most difficult problems ahead is to find out how genes contribute to diseases that have a complex pattern of inheritance, such as in the cases of diabetes, asthma, cancer and mental illness.
