With an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern, a person needs to have 2 copies of a gene change to have the condition. In most cases, people with an autosomal recessive condition get one gene change from the mother and one gene change from the father.

The parents of a person with an autosomal recessive condition may not have the condition themselves, since each parent only needs to have one copy of the gene change. People with one copy of the gene change are called carriers, who do not have the condition, but are more likely to have children with the condition. Other family members (uncles, aunts, brothers, cousins, etc) may also be carriers.
