    ### Instruction:
    Is leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate elevation inherited ?
    ### Response:
    LBSL is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern, which means both copies of the gene in each cell have mutations. In this condition, each copy of the gene carries a different mutation (compound heterozygous mutations). An affected individual never has the same mutation in both copies of the gene (a homozygous mutation).
