An is a genetic condition that occurs when an individual inherits two copies of a mutated gene—one from each parent . This inheritance pattern typically occurs on the non-sex (numbered) chromosomes. In this scenario, both parents are usually "carriers" who do not show symptoms themselves but have a 25% chance of passing the disorder to their offspring with each pregnancy. Core Mechanism of Autosomal Recessive Inheritance
: These disorders often "skip" generations, appearing suddenly in children of healthy parents. Notable Autosomal Recessive Disorders
chance of being completely unaffected (two normal genes).
