Autosomal Recessive Inheritance

In this example, two unaffected parents each carry one copy of a gene mutation for an autosomal recessive disorder. They have one affected child and three unaffected children, two of which carry one copy of the gene mutation.

Examples of Autosomal Dominant Disease

• Cystic fibrosis (CF) (More? respiratory}

• Sickle cell anaemia (More? blood)

• Tay-Sachs disease (More? neural}
