Autosomal Recessive Diseases
Autosomal recessive diseases are genetic disorders caused by the inheriting of two defective copies of a single gene, one from each parent. Defective copies of the gene result in lack of production or functionality of the gene product which can cause severe medical issues. Autosomal recessive diseases can be devastating for those affected, and unfortunately in some cases, there is no cure. Research into autosomal recessive diseases has led to the development of various treatments and therapies, often with great success. Early diagnosis of these diseases can be important for preventing further complications and providing proper care.
