Autosomal recessive inheritance means that the gene is located on one of the autosomes (chromosome pairs 1 through 22). This means that males and females are equally affected.

Autosomal recessive inheritance refers to an inheritance pattern in which an affected person must be homozygous, i.e., carry 2 copies of a mutant gene, one from each parent. Autosomal recessive inheritance is characterized by the following: ...

The ATM gene is autosomal recessive, meaning the disease occurs only if a defective gene is inherited from both parents. Infants with A-T initially often appear very healthy. At around age two, ataxia and nervous system abnormalities becomes apparent.

PKD is mainly inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. There have been a few families where it appeared that PKD was inherited in either an autosomal dominant manner or where the carriers of PKD exhibited mild problems with their red blood cells.

Tay-Sachs is an autosomal recessive disorder; a person must have two defective genes (one from each parent) in order for the disease to occur. Carriers, people with only one gene for the disorder, are physically unaffected.

Tay-Sachs disease is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder, meaning a child inherits one copy of the abnormal gene from each parent. The parents do not actually have the disease, but carry the Tay-Sachs gene and pass it on to the baby.

In the most common type of the disease (autosomal dominant PKD), almost half of the patients develop chronic kidney failure between the ages of 40 and 60. The rarer form (autosomal recessive PKD) causes kidney failure in early childhood.
