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]
Differences in residual enzyme activity of the various alleles account for the various degrees of severity of the disease. [136] [137] [138] Inheritance of all forms of 21-hydroxylase CAH is autosomal recessive, [4] except some mild disease-causing variants such as p.V281L that seem to exert dominant negative effects on enzymatic activity.

Autosomal recessive inheritance, a 25% chance, and (purple) a 50% carrier chance. Autosomal recessive traits is one pattern of inheritance for a trait, disease, or disorder to be passed on through families. For a recessive trait or disease to be displayed two copies of the trait or disorder needs to be presented.
Since this disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, men and women are equally likely to be diagnosed with DADA2. Based on computational analyses, the prevalence of DADA2 could be as high as 4 in 100,000. [49] Generally, populations with high degrees of consanguinity or with founder variants have a higher prevalence of DADA2.
Approximately 1 in 100,000 newborns will experience severe mucopolysaccharidosis type I, while approximately 1 in 500,000 newborns will experience attenuated mucopolysaccharidosis type I. [2] Most mucopolysaccharidoses are autosomal recessive disorders, meaning that only individuals inheriting the defective gene from both parents are affected ...
Galloway–Mowat syndrome is usually an autosomal recessive disorder, [1] which means the defective gene responsible for the disorder is located on an autosome, and two copies of the defective gene (one inherited from each parent) are required in order to be born with the disorder.
Hyperlysinemia has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Hyperlysinemia is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. [2] This means the defective gene responsible for the disorder is located on an autosome, and two copies of the defective gene (one inherited from each parent) are required in order to be born with the disorder.
X-linked recessive inheritance. X-linked recessive inheritance is a mode of inheritance in which a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome causes the phenotype to be always expressed in males (who are necessarily hemizygous for the gene mutation because they have one X and one Y chromosome) and in females who are homozygous for the gene mutation, see zygosity.
