Recessive

An Autosomal recessive pattern is one in which certain genes of the X sex chromosome are turned off, autosomal is in reference to the X chromosome and the fact that the genes are turned off is indicated by the recessive. So in the case of Albinism the pigmentation genes in the X chromosome are turned off causing the various side effects.
