Autosomal Recessive (Colon Cancer)

A pattern of inheritance in which the transmission of a trait on an autosome (not the X or Y sex chromosomes) results in a carrier state if the individual is heterozygous for the trait and in an affected state if the individual is homozygous. Only when both parents are carriers is there a risk (25%) for an affected child. There is usually no family history of the disorder. Cystic fibrosis and hemochromatosis are well-known autosomal recessive conditions.

Autosomal Recessive (Medical)
