Autosomal inheritance

Autosomal inheritance is inheritance of a genetic trait not on a sex chromosome.[1] Autosomal recessive inheritance is the most common type of inheritance for retinal dystrophies. When this type of condition is present in a family, it is often seen only in one child or in siblings, not in the parents or other relatives. [1]
