AUTOSOMAL RECESSIVE

refers to a pattern of Mendelian inheritance in which a mutant allele produces its effect in an offspring only if it is present on both members of a pair of homologous chromosomes (see also autosome- recessive allele) – or parents. An example of an autosomal recessive disorder is Tay-Sachs disease.
