Genetics[edit | edit source]
- Zunich–Kay syndrome is considered to have an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
- This means the defective gene is located on an autosome, and two copies of the gene, one from each parent, are required to inherit the disorder.
- The parents of an individual with autosomal recessive disorder both carry one copy of the defective gene, but usually do not have the disorder.
