Hey I memorize the exact diseases but generally structural diseases are automsomal dominant and biochemical diseases are automsomal recessive except alpha 1 anti trypsin deficiency and porphyria.

This should help a little:

AR diseases tend to affect younger people and involve defects in enzymes. (eg, Tay-Sachs, Hurler)

AD diseases tend to affect older people and involve structural proteins. (eg, Huntington)
