autosomal recessive inheritance
Autosomal recessive inheritance is a pattern of genetic inheritance in which an individual needs to inherit two copies of a recessive gene to display a specific trait or disorder. This type of inheritance occurs when both parents carry one copy of the recessive gene and pass it on to their child, who then expresses the trait or disorder.
