AVN is not life-threatening, but it is debilitating. Although it isn't well-known and its cause is unknown, AVN affects 10,000-to-20,000 Americans annually. Risk factors for AVN include Caisson's disease, Glycogen storage disease, renal disease, Sickle cell anemia, alcoholism and steroid use.

Sporadic Alzheimer's disease usually does not run in families. However, people who have a family history of sporadic Alzheimer's disease have a greater chance of developing the disease than people with no family history of Alzheimer's disease. Rare cases of Alzheimer's disease are inherited or “familial”.

Mutations in BRAT1, encoding BRCA1-associated ATM activator 1, are associated with a severe phenotype known as rigidity and multifocal seizure syndrome, lethal neonatal (RMFSL; OMIM # 614498), characterized by intractable seizures, hypertonia, autonomic instability, and early death.

Adrenoleukodystrophy (ALD) is a rare genetic condition that causes the buildup of very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) in the brain. When VLCFAs accumulate, they destroy the protective myelin sheath around nerve cells, responsible for brain function.

Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an inherited genetic disorder that affects the blood vessels. It's also known as Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome. People with HHT have some blood vessels that have not developed properly and sometimes cause bleeding, known as arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).

Mowat-Wilson syndrome (MWS) is a rare genetic disorder that may be apparent at birth or later in childhood. MWS is characterized by intellectual disability, distinctive facial features and seizures.

Aarskog-Scott syndrome is believed to be a rare disorder; however, its prevalence is unknown because mildly affected people may not be diagnosed.

(ABMD; also known as Map-Dot-Fingerprint Corneal Dystrophy, Cogan's Microcystic Dystrophy, or Epithelial Basement Membrane Dystrophy [EBMD]) is an inherited disorder of the cornea that may present with a variety of symptoms, including recurrent corneal erosions and/or blurred vision.

An AB parent can indeed sometimes have an O child. But it is by no means common. In fact it would be fair to say that it is exceedingly rare.

No environmental risk factors have been identified for neurological AVM. AVM does not usually run in families, but somewhere on the order of 5% of AVMs may be due to autosomal dominant inheritance of a genetic mutation, most commonly hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia or the capillary malformation-AVM syndrome.

The virus was similar to borna disease virus, which causes neurologic signs mostly in horses and rarely in humans and other mammals. This new virus was named avian borna virus (ABV).

Adynamic bone disease (ABD), a.k.a. aplastic lesion, is a histological condition found in uremic patients. It is characterized by low bone resorption and formation, and, in contrast to osteomalacia, the amount of osteoid tissue is normal or low.

In children, MPGN is frequently idiopathic, whereas in adults, MPGN is commonly associated with cryoglobulinemia and HCV infection. Patients with MPGN may present in one of four ways, as follows: nephrotic syndrome (40–70%); acute nephritic syndrome (20–30%);

Although IVDD is highly heritable, it is not a simple genetic disorder that can be tested for in the same way as Cord1 PRA or Lafora Disease which are also found in Dachshunds. It is likely to be a disease caused by multiple genes as well as environmental and lifestyle factors.

AVNRT most often occurs in otherwise normal hearts. The propensity to have AVNRT is likely present from birth or an early age. Thus, AVNRT may occur early on, not until late in life, or possibly despite the propensity in may never happen at all.
