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.

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 ...
The following is a list of genetic disorders and if known, type of mutation and for the chromosome involved. Although the parlance "disease-causing gene" is common, it is the occurrence of an abnormality in the parents that causes the impairment to develop within the child.
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.
Autosomal genetic disorders which exhibit Mendelian inheritance can be inherited either in an autosomal dominant or recessive fashion. [7] These disorders manifest in and are passed on by either sex with equal frequency. [7] [8] Autosomal dominant disorders are often present in both parent and child, as the child needs to inherit only one copy ...

Autosomal dominant. Several spinocerebellar ataxias; Huntington's disease – CAG; Myotonic dystrophy – CTG; Dyskeratosis congenita – TTAGGG (telomere repeat sequence) [1] Autosomal recessive. Friedreich ataxia – GAA (Note: Friedreich ataxia does not usually exhibit anticipation because it is an autosomal recessive disorder. [2]) X-linked
