Powerful genomic technologies, such as exome sequencing, are providing new insights into the genetics underlying Mendelian traits. A new study identifies a role for digenic inheritance and an ...

One important piece of information about the human Mendelian disorders is the mode of inheritance. Recent studies of human genetic diseases on a large scale have provided many novel insights into the ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...
