Although most neonates with autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) are collodion babies, the clinical presentation and severity of ARCI may vary significantly, ranging from Harlequin ichthyosis, the most severe and often fatal form, to lamellar ichthyosis and nonbullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma in older individuals.

Between 75 percent and 80 percent of all nonsyndromic deafness is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The inner ear consists of three parts: a snail-shaped structure called the cochlea that helps process sound, nerves that send information from the cochlea to the brain, and structures involved with balance. http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/condition=nonsyndromicdeafnessautosomalrecessive   (882 words)      Autosomal recessive verses autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa Autosomal recessive RP is the most probable explanation for seemingly isolated incidences of retinitis pigmentosa. The birth of one child does not influence the chance of the next child being normal, a carrier or affected. As you probably see from the above example, a child with 2 parents who have autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa has a 100 % chance of getting the disease. http://www.geocities.com/retinitis_pigmentosa_rp/r_pigmentosa_autorecess.html   (972 words)      Human Genetics - Mendelian Inheritance 4 Where the father and mother are both Dd (dd is the recessive affected individual, Dd the heterozygous carrier individual, and DD the homozygous normal individual). When consanguinity is involved, i.e., matings between related individuals, in the production of an affected child the assignment of probabilities changes, especially in the rarer autosomal recessive diseases. he first, and most important, thing to remember about autosomal recessive inheritance is that most, if not all, affected individuals have parents with normal phenotypes. http://www.uic.edu/classes/bms/bms655/lesson5.html   (1331 words)      Child Health Library - Medical Genetics - Autosomal Recessive: Cystic Fibrosis, Sickle Cell Anemia, Tay Sachs Disease Once parents have had a child with a recessive trait or disease, there is a one out of four, or 25 percent chance, with each subsequent pregnancy, for another child to be born with the same trait or disorder. The birth of a child with a recessive condition is often a total surprise to a family, since in most cases, there is no previous family history of a recessive condition. A person who has only one recessive gene is said to be a "carrier" for the trait or disease, but they do not have any health problems from "carrying" one copy of the gene. http://www.chp.edu/greystone/genetics/recessive.php   (995 words)      [No title] In practice, however, there may be subtle distinctions noted in heterozygous carriers of a disorder conventionally regarded as recessive.
