Autoimmune Atrophic Gastritis Recessive or Dominant Gene?

Hello friends, I know AAG and AP are sometimes synonymous and PA is passed via recessive genes.

The surgeon that did my diagnosis of AAG told me not to be concerned passing this to my kids.

Does anyone know if AAG is passed on recessive gene like PA is?

Thanks everyone. Appreciate it

Genetics is really off topic for this forum, mainly because it is a very complex area and talking to people about mutations they have really requires specialised skills, so I'd recommend speaking to a specially trained counsellor rather than looking on a forum like this for answers.

Things are a lot more complicated that 'dominant' and 'recessive' - as this article tries to explain.

Most genetic mutations require , more than just having a particular variation - as most variants have to be 'activated' by environmental factors.

ie generally inheriting a copy of a variant doesn't mean that an individual will go on to develop a particular medical condition, nor does inheriting two copies.

As genetics is off topic I am closing this post to further responses.
