It can be
dominant or recessive depending on your phenotype, when
you have a gene that suppressed it, it then becomes a recessive gene and when i suppressed your
gene then it became a dominant character,
You should
note that every human being has two genes for all of its genotype, or should i
say it in this way, you as a human you are made from genes of two separate
individual( your dad and mum) if your mum gene for leber hereditary optic neuropathy
is dominant over your dad gene for a healthier eye, then you will have dominant
gene for this vision loss problem and the
healthier eye gene will be recessive and you will definitely have these eye problem by the time you are old.
On the other hand if this leber hereditary optic
neuropathy is a recessive gene, it means you have a normal eye dominant gene as your genotype
and you will not be affected by vision
loss by his gene seen you have a dominant gene that suppressed it.
For a
genotype to be form , a cell from a male normally yy and a cell from a female
xx must combine, ( for a more technical terms ,
they are referred to as chromosome) when the chromosome coming from e female is having
these leber hereditary optic neuropathy gene
and it a dominant gene while the chromosome coming from the male yy, is
a recessive gene, then the dominant gene for this genotype will be dominant,
and vice versa.
Knowing your
genotype for all hereditary eye related infection is very important as this
will aid your ability in preventing a sudden eye blindness.
Other hereditary
eye diseases glaucoma, mocular degenerations, cataracts and retinopathy etc
These are eye
infections that once your parent are having it, it means you can easily get i,
especially if your grandparent medical history is positive on it.
