Most cases of Aase syndrome occur without a known reason and are not passed down through families(inherited). However, some cases have been shown to be inherited as an autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive traitn.The anemia associated with Aa...

The available evidence suggests Aase syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion meaning that an affected person has two copies of an abnormal gene. Parents of an affected individual carry one abnormal copy of that particular gene, but...

Detailed information on single gene defects and patterns of inheritance Genes are what determine your traits, such as eye color and blood type. They are contained on our chromosomes, which normally number 46 (23 pairs) in each cell of our body. There are an estimated 25,000 genes contained on these 46 chromosomes. Genes are made of DNA. DNA is an acronym for deoxyribonucleic acid. DNA is made up of base pairs that code for certain proteins. So, ultimately, a gene, or a section of our DNA, makes a protein. There is also DNA in-between genes, which does not code for anything in particular, but simply serves as a "spacer." Therefore, not all of the DNA in our cells is used to make protein products.
