Magnitude of Mendelian versus complex inheritance of rare disorders.

Abstract excerpt

In medical genetics, the vast majority of patients with a currently known genetic basis harbor a rare deleterious allele explaining its Mendelian inheritance. Increasingly, for these phenotypes, we recognize exceptions to Mendelian expectations from non-penetrance of clinical disease to significant inter-individual variation in clinical manifestations, likely reflecting the actions of additional modifier genes....
