| carrier |
A person who has one normal gene and one mutated gene coding for a recessively inherited disease, or a person with a balanced chromosomal rearrangement; in either case a carrier has a normal phenotype (appearance and functions) -- a carrier of a gene for a recessive disease does not usually develop disease but can pass the mutated gene on to their children. .

| carrier |
In human genetics, an individual heterozygous for a mutant allele that generally causes disease only in the homozygous state. More generally, an individual who possesses a mutant allele but does not express it in the phenotype because of a dominant allelic partner; thus, an individual of genotype Aa is a carrier of a if there is complete dominance of A over a.

| carrier |
An individual who has inherited an allelewhich plays a role in disease, but who also has a normal allele which is a dominant allele. In most cases, carriers suffer no ill-effects from the disease-related allele, however they may pass the allele on to their children. Source : PhRMA Genomics
