Pale implies a faintness or absence of color, which may be natural when applied to things, the pale blue of a violet, but when used to refer to the human face usually means an unnatural and often temporary absence of color, as arising from sickness or sudden emotion: pale cheeks.
This condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder. In most cases, an affected person has one parent with the condition.
In the case of autosomal dominant genes, a single abnormal gene on one of the autosomal chromosomes (one of the first 22 ânon-sexâ chromosomes) from either parent can cause the disease.One of the parents will have the disease (since it is dominant) in this mode of inheritance and that person is called the CARRIER.lso known as: Inheritance-autosomal dominant and Genetics-autosomal dominant. Autosomal dominant is one of several ways that a trait or disorder can be passed down through families.
