Autosomal recessive: cystic fibrosis (CF), sickle cell anemia (SC), Tay Sachs disease. Genes are inherited from our biological parents in specific ways. One of the basic patterns of inheritance of our genes is called autosomal recessive inheritance.

Inherited means the disease is passed from parents to children through genes. People who have CF inherit two faulty genes for the diseaseâone from each parent. The parents likely don't have the disease themselves.
