Genetics beyond Mendel. Understanding nontraditional inheritance patterns.

Abstract excerpt

Many medical conditions that clearly have a strong genetic component are not transmitted in a straightforward dominant, recessive, or X-linked pattern. Recent progress in understanding other modes of inheritance, such as imprinting, trinucleotide repeat expansion, mitochondrial inheritance, and mosaicism, has allowed us to solve many of these hereditary puzzles.
