Many generations: The condition will be seen generation after generation in some individuals in the family, and will not skip generations although eventually with new family members introduced into the family children may be born without it due to the dominant allele potentially being replaced by a wild type normal allele that is not associated with the effects of the dominant mutation. Take care!
