Noonan Syndrome (cont.)
How do people inherit Noonan syndrome?
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 some cases, an affected person inherits the mutation from one affected
parent. Other cases may result from new mutations in the gene. These cases occur
in people with no history of the disorder in their family.
