Lecture, chapter 4 - Pedigree analysis in human genetics

Today we finished chapter 4.

We covered the remaining modes of inheritance in human mendelian genetics: X-linked recessive, Y-linked, and mitochondrial. We studied examples of some of those.

We than discussed variations in phenotypic expression, mainly age-related phenotypic expression, penetrance, and expressivity, and provided a few examples, including , interestingly enough, one of the students! (good times!)
