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

A person inherits this disease when both parents are "carriers" of the recessive allele for Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP) or one or both parents have the disease while the other is a carrier.

Relationship between two carrier parents and probabilities of children being unaffected, carriers, or affected


XP is a choromosomal disease.
