Hi,

I am not sure which message you are replying to, but " autosomal " or

nuclear DNA (nDNA) defects as opposed to mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA)

defects can indeed be passed on by fathers.

The most devastating and more widely known problems are with mtDNA

defects, which are passed on from the mother, but there was one

reported case where a man was found to have his fathers mtDNA too.

If the defect that is causing the mito is in the nuclear DNA and then either

parent can pass it on.

Both sides of my family show symptoms, with my paternal uncle most

obvious. There are a lot of thyroid problems on that side of my

family too, so I don't rule out an autoimmune cause for my symptoms.

I'm waiting on genetic test results, but another vote for nDNA cause

of my condition is that my kids are all okay (so far).

Take care,
