#2 How does a person inherit this genetic disorder? Is it dominant or recessive? Is it genetic or chromosomal?

     Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive disorder. This means that the disease is found on the autosomal chromosomes, and not the sex chromosomes. A person can inherit this disorder by their parents. Depending on their parents traits, that will determine what the child will have. Since gaucher disease is recessive, it is not commonly seen, or heard of very much.
