autosomal recessive inheritance - (pronounced) (AW-toh-SOH-mul reh-SEH-siv in-HAYR-ih-tunts) One of the ways a genetic trait or condition can be passed (inherited) from parent to child. In autosomal recessive inheritance, a genetic condition occurs when the child inherits a mutated copy of a gene from each parent. The parents usually do not have the condition. The parents are called carriers because they each carry a copy of the mutated gene and can pass it on to their children
