Wikipedia
Gene dosage
Gene dosage is the number of copies of a particular gene present in a genome. Gene dosage is related to the amount of gene product (proteins or functional RNAs) the cell is able to express. Since, a gene acts as a template, the number of templates in the cell contributes to the amount of gene product able to be produced. However, the amount of gene product produced in a cell is more commonly dependent on regulation of gene expression. The normal gene dosage is dependent on species, humans generally have two doses, one copy from the mother and one from the father. Changes in gene dosage can be a result of copy number variation (gene insertions or gene deletions), or aneuploidy (chromosome number abnormalities). These changes can have significant phenotypic consequences.

Gene dosage
Gene dosage is the number of copies of a gene present in a cell or nucleus. An increase in gene dosage can cause higher levels of gene product if the gene is not subject to regulation from elsewhere in the body.
