Abstract excerpt
The genetic bases underlying the range and severity of phenotypes in Mendelian disorders is poorly understood; however, improvements in this area have the potential to facilitate analysis of oligogenic disorders. The nail dysplasia observed in Nail Patella Syndrome (NPS) was selected as a quantifiable variable within a Mendelian disorder, for which data could be readily obtained, to allow investigation of the...
