Abstract: A pair of linearly independent asymptotic solutions are constructed for the second-order linear difference equation {equation*} P_{n+1}(x)-(A_{n}x+B_{n})P_{n}(x)+P_{n-1}(x)=0, {equation*} where $A_n$ and $B_n$ have asymptotic expansions of the form {equation*} A_nsim n^{- heta}sum_{s=0}^inftyfrac{alpha_s}{n^s},qquad B_nsimsum_{s=0}^inftyfrac{�eta_s}{n^s}, {equation*} with $hetaeq0$ and $alph{a}_{0}eq0$ being real numbers, and $$. Our result hold uniformly for the scaled variable $t$ in an infinite interval containing the transition point $t_1=0$, where $t=(n+a{u}_0{)}^{-heta}x$ and $a{u}_0$ is a small shift. In particular, it is shown how the Bessel functions $J_u$ and $Y_u$ get involved in the uniform asymptotic expansions of the solutions to the above three-term recurrence relation. As an illustration of the main result, we derive a uniform asymptotic expansion for the orthogonal polynomials associated with the Laguerre-type weight $x^{a}lphaexp(-q_m{x}^m)$, $x>0$, where $m$ is a positive integer, $alpha>-1$ and $q_m>0$.
