A. Abdallat–Davis–Farrage syndrome; Abetalipoproteinemia; Absent tibia-polydactyly-arachnoid cyst syndrome; Acanthosis nigricans-muscle cramps-acral enlargement syndrome
The disorder is autosomal recessive and inherited from parents who are carriers. [4] Diagnosis is often based on appearance at birth and confirmed by genetic testing. [5] Before birth, amniocentesis or ultrasound may support the diagnosis. [5] There is no cure for the condition. [8] Early in life, constant supportive care is typically required. [3]
Phenylketonuria is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion PKU is an autosomal recessive metabolic genetic disorder . As an autosomal recessive disorder, two PKU alleles are required for an individual to experience symptoms of the disease.

Certain other phenotypes, such as wet versus dry earwax, are also determined in an autosomal recessive fashion. [24] [25] Some autosomal recessive disorders are common because, in the past, carrying one of the faulty genes led to a slight protection against an infectious disease or toxin such as tuberculosis or malaria. [26]
In medical genetics, compound heterozygosity is the condition of having two or more heterogeneous recessive alleles at a particular locus that can cause genetic disease in a heterozygous state; that is, an organism is a compound heterozygote when it has two recessive alleles for the same gene, but with those two alleles being different from each other (for example, both alleles might be ...
Cystic fibrosis (also known as CF or mucoviscidosis) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder affecting most critically the lungs, and also the pancreas, liver, and intestine.
Tay–Sachs disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The HEXA gene is located on the long (q) arm of human chromosome 15, between positions 23 and 24. Tay–Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder, meaning that when both parents are carriers, there is a 25% risk of giving birth to an affected child with each ...
