Photic Sneeze Reflex

bestofwikipedia:

Photic sneeze reflex is a genetic autosomal dominant trait, which causes sneezing when exposed suddenly to bright light, possibly many times consecutively. It is also referred to as photic sneeze response, sun sneezing, photogenic sneezing, the photosternutatory reflex, being photo sensitive, allergic to the sun, ACHOO syndrome, and Achooism, named after the sound made when sneezing, along with its related backronym Autosomal dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst syndrome. The condition affects 18-35% of the human population.

I have this problem :) I look at the sun for a long time, so I can sneeze XD It’s kinda fun to do<—-I don’t know why :P

    If it’s autosomal dominant, then why does it affect less than half the population? SCIENCE MAKES NO SENSE
