D. G. Rowlands showed in 1959 that this was due to a single recessive mutation.

Screening for dominant and recessive mutations is performed in a way similar to the conventional genome-wide screen (Figure 7).

In humans it is known to be caused by an autosomal recessive genetic mutation.

People have identified five recessive lethal mutations in chickens that cause bilateral diplopodia.

This suggests, at least to my mind, that recessive mutations indicate something about the neurons that are damaged in these disorders.

Albino mice occur due to a recessive mutation of the C gene.

They all share a recessive mutation on chromosome 17p.

All males possessing an X-linked recessive mutation will be affected.

This increases the damage done by recessive deleterious mutations, in a process known as inbreeding depression.

In his work with albino children, he recognized that in some families where both parents carry a recessive mutation, no disease occurs by chance.
