The sudden appearance of a recessive phenotype in a pedigree, due to deletion of a masking dominant gene. The phenomenon in which a recessive allele shows itself in the phenotype when only one copy of the allele is present, as in hemizygous alleles or in deletion heterozygotes

suppose frequency of an recessive allele is very high...in those cases, it appears as though it is following a pattern of dominant character in a pedigree analysis.. this is termed as pseudodominance.... another cause of this kind of pedigree chart is consanguineous marriage....
