<prompt> Answer this question truthfullyWhat is the mode of inheritance for hereditary fructose intolerance?  <response>: <reason> Hereditary fructose intolerance is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. This means that a person needs to inherit two copies of the mutated gene one from each parent to be affected by the condition. With autosomal recessive inheritance, there is a 25 chance that the child of two carriers will inherit two copies of the mutated gene and develop the condition.

This can lead to severe abdominal pain, vomiting, and other symptoms after consuming foods or drinks containing fructose.
