Did you mean recessive inheritance?

GlossaryAutosomal Recessive (recessive inheritance)

inheritance requires two copies of a mutated gene

Autosomal recessive refers to a pattern of inheritance where a person must inherit two copies of a mutated gene, one from each parent, to express a particular trait or disorder. If an individual has only one copy of the mutated gene, they are considered a carrier and typically do not show symptoms. This type of inheritance is common in many genetic disorders, such as cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia.
