Here's a list of autosomal dominant diseases:

• Tuberous sclerosis
• Marfan syndrome
• Neurofibromatosis
• Huntington's disease
• Retinoblastoma
• Waardenburg syndrome
• Myotonic dystrophy
• Familial hypercholestrolemia (LDL receptor defect Type IIa)
• Adult polycystic kidney disease
• von Hippel Lindau
• Familial adenomatous polyposis and Peutz Jeghers Syndrome
• Hereditory spherocytosis
• Achondroplasia
• Ehlor's Danlos (vascular type)
• Acute intermittent porphyria
• Hypertrophic Obstructive Cardiomyopathy (HOCM)
• Von Willebrand Disease
• Polydactyly
• Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Except Type VII)
• Hereditary hemorrhagic telengiactasia (Osler-weber-rendu syndrome)
• Osteopetrosis Type II (Adult type)
• Hypokalemic Periodic Paralysis

Of course the list can be considerable longer but these are the ones that are commonly tested in USMLE.

Please post your reply if you want to add to the list or if you have any comments on those already listed.

Thank you for adding to the list.
Yes, you are right.
OGI is already mentioned in the list and I added the others that you mentioned.

Autosomal recessive conditions tend to be metabolic in nature - exceptions: inherited ataxias

Autosomal dominant conditions are more structural - exceptions: hyperlipidaemia type II, hypokalaemic periodic paralysis
