What is meant by the genetic concept of incomplete penetrance?
An individual carries a pathogenic mutation but does not develop the phenotype, or develops it only later in life.

What is pseudodominance in the context of genetic inheritance?
A situation where a recessive disorder appears to follow a dominant inheritance pattern due to a high carrier frequency within a population.

How is an individual defined as an obligate carrier in a pedigree?
An individual who has transmitted a disease trait to their offspring, even if they show no symptoms or the condition is lethal.

In a pedigree, what does the presence of two lines connecting individuals represent?
Consanguinity.

\(2/3\)

What kind of disorder is SMA1 (Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1)?
A recessive, genetic neuromuscular disorder characterized by the progressive wasting of muscles and the loss of motor neurons in the spinal cord.

Why does consanguinity increase the risk of recessive disorders?
Because consanguineous individuals are more likely to share the same recessive pathogenic variant inherited from a common ancestor, increasing the probability of their offspring being homozygous for the mutation.
