<prompt> Answer this question truthfullyHow is Krabbe disease inherited?  <response>: <reason> Krabbe disease is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means that a person needs to inherit two copies of the mutated gene one from each parent to develop the disorder. If both parents are carriers of the mutated gene, there is a 25 chance that their offspring will inherit the disorder. The disorder affects the nervous system, causing a loss of myelin the protective covering of nerve fibers and leading to symptoms such as muscle weakness, developmental delay, and vision and hearing loss.
