Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled

A genetic disease inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, occurring when a person inherits two altered copies of a gene on a non-sex chromosome, one from each parent.

Why it exists Filled

Let an agent explain autosomal recessive inheritance accurately, give only general information, and direct individuals to genetic counselling.

Distinguishing features Filled

  • Two altered copies needed
  • Carriers are usually unaffected
  • More common where partners are related
  • Includes many rare diseases

What robots and AI may and may not do Filled

Must not

  • Tell a person or couple their genetic risk from family stories alone.
  • Disclose a person's carrier status without consent.
  • Stigmatise carriers or communities with higher carrier rates.
  • Advise on reproductive decisions in place of a genetic counsellor.

Only with a human decision

  • Interpreting genetic test results for a person.

May

  • Explain how autosomal recessive inheritance works from medical sources.
  • Suggest genetic counselling to people asking about their risk.

Moral aspects Filled

  • Carrier screening raises questions of consent and reproductive choice.
  • Communities with high carrier rates face stigma.

Who is affected

  • Affected people and families
  • Carriers
  • Communities with high carrier rates

Owners Filled

Steward

Nobody owns a disease; clinicians and genetic services diagnose it.

Master systems

  • Rare disease registries

Links to other meta-models Filled

parent

  • Q18553442 - registry parent class

related

  • disease - genetic disease
  • mutation - variants
  • ICD-11, OMIM and Orphanet - codes
  • syndrome - many are syndromes

What else AI and robots need to interact with it Filled

Identity and identifiers required Filled

  • Vercy registry: vr.tr.autosomal-recessive-disease
  • Wikidata: Q10267817 (https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q10267817)
  • OMIM number: six digits genetic conditions
  • ORPHAcode: numeric rare diseases

Direct properties not applicable Not applicable

  • recurrence risk for carrier couples: 25 percent per pregnancy - classic Mendelian expectation

Plane XCT: no invented physical properties.

Recognition optional Filled

  • Diagnosis requires genetic testing
  • Family pattern: unaffected carrier parents
  • Specific diseases are listed separately
  • No single appearance; features depend on the specific disease.

Capabilities and actions required Filled

  • diagnose it by genetic testing
  • counsel families about recurrence risk
  • screen carriers where offered
  • support affected people

Hazards and failure modes required Filled

  • Misstating recurrence risk
  • Individual genetic advice without a counsellor
  • Stigma for families

Standards and interfaces required Filled

  • Genetic testing and counselling guidelines
  • Genetic data protection law
  • Newborn screening programmes

Context of use required Filled

  • Naming an inheritance pattern shared by many rare diseases, which guides testing and family counselling.
  • metabolic disorders
  • blood disorders
  • neuromuscular disorders
  • syndromic conditions

Sources Filled

  1. Wikidata item Q10267817: autosomal recessive disease - identity and sense of the item
  2. Wikipedia (pt): Doença autossômica recessiva - general description of the item

Open questions

  • Should each recessive disease be linked to OMIM?
  • How should agents signpost genetic counselling?
  • How should carrier screening be described neutrally?
