with = ? As = ?

This is difficult stuff, which needs a medical professional to understand it fully.



Here, "inheritance" and "autosomal" have specialised and peculiar meanings, apparently.
I'd be guessing.
But the consonants "with" and "as" seem to have their normal meanings in this case.

Look up the two big words, and if you still can't understand it, come back.

McTag meant to say conjunctions. The locution "with . . . as" is used to indicate a substitution.

We started the tour in January, with the football club acting as our travel agent.

In that example, "the football club" is substituted for "our travel agent," to indicate that the football club is making the travel arrangements, something which a travel agent would normally be expected to do for someone.

In the example ". . . with inheritance as autosomal dominant or recessive" it would appear that the author is saying that inheritance acts as an autosomal dominant or recessive would. Significantly, as McTag points out, this sort of question requires an arcane knowledge of the subject--it requires a person with expert knowledge to state the case unequivocally.

with means 'and'

as means 'is'

Yes whoops, conjunctions.

Thank you guys.

I wonder why JPB would not like to come here.

Interesting.

Thanks.

I'm not very good with English and grammar these days, ori (brain scarring near the language center as a result of a TIA). If I read one of your posts and think it refers to an English usage I'll leave that to the folks who have a much better handle on that than I do. If it's a contextual issue relating to the meaning of the underlying concept then I'll jump in.

The use of "with" and "as" in this case is as Set indicated.

"...with inheritance as autosomal dominant or recessive" means that the gene anomalies are not related to sex-genes, and are either dominate (autosomal dominant) or recessive (autosomal recessive).
