Autosomal dominant genetic conditions typically appear in every generation of an affected family.

Is it true that autosomal dominant genetic conditions typically appear in every generation of an affected family?

Unclear. Several sources describe autosomal dominant conditions running in families or segregating in a single pedigree, but none states that such conditions typically appear in every generation of an affected family. The evidence covers only individual families and single syndromes, not the general pattern the claim asserts.
