Louis-Bar Syndrome is a autosomal recessive trait. This means that the mutation in the genetic code isn't on a sex chromosome but it's on one of the other 44 chromosomes. It also means that you inherit it from both parents. Each parent has to have the mutation and then both have to get passed to you for you to get this disease.
