Genetic disorders that is autosomal occurs when a child that inherits the disease that was carried by one or both of the parents and it can be either autosomal dominant disease or autosomal recessive disease. Examples for the diseases are, cystic fibrosis and sickle cell anemia.
Inheriting a disease, condition, or trait depends on the type of chromosome affected (non-sex or sex chromosome). It also depends on whether the trait is dominant or recessive. A single abnormal gene on one of the first 22 non-sex chromosomes from either parent can cause an autosomal disorder. For an example is, Huntington disease and neurofibromatosis type 1.
