Assume a family comes in for genetic testing for the disease related to our gene of interest, as their child shows some symptoms. Both the parents and the child (patient) have their DNA extracted from whole blood, and the full gene sequenced. The figure below represents the sequence analysis of the 3 individuals.

Question

Is this disease autosomal or sex-linked, and dominant or recessive? Using your genetics understanding of patterns of inheritance and as a scientist, how would you interpret these results?
