What mode of inheritance does PHPT follow?

PHPT is transmitted/inherited by an autosomal dominant gene. This means that an abnormal gene from one parent is all that is necessary to pass on PHPT to the offspring, regardless of whether or not the other parent also has the affected gene. Either a Keeshond has the affected gene, or it does not. There are not designations such as carrier, clear or affected, as identified when a gene is recessive.
