Factor VII Deficiency Gene: F7 Transmission: Autosomal recessive For an autosomal recessive genetic disease an animal must have two copies of the mutation in question to be at risk of developing the disease. Both parents of an affected animal must be carriers of at least one copy of the mutation. Animals that have only…
