Synonym: Familial episodic pain syndrome 1
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance

Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
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

Familial episodic pain syndrome-1 is an autosomal dominant neurologic disorder characterized by onset in infancy of episodic debilitating upper body pain triggered by fasting, cold, and physical stress (summary by Kremeyer et al., 2010).
