Mendelian Heredity: A Correction

Non-Mendelian epigenetic heredity: gametic RNAs as epigenetic regulators and transgenerational signals.

Inheritance of epigenetic variations may account for a significant part of heritability in human and in mammalian models. Heritable epigenetic variations were reported in plants under the name 'paramutation' more than 50 years ago. Reports by E. Whitelaw and her colleagues and by our laboratory now describe a variety of situations resulting in epigenetic inheritance in mouse systems. In the thr...

Heredity in Gastroenterology: A Review.

Attention is drawn to the more important genetic principles which have a bearing on medical problems, and stress is laid on the careful planning necessary if a clinical genetic research project is to produce worthwhile results. There follows a review of the present state of knowledge concerning heredity and various gastroenterological disorders, with suggestions of the lines of research most li...

Hologynic Heredity.

Sex-linked characters in man are well known; they are all pathological characters, so far as known; they are transmitted according to the same laws as the sex-linked characters in the little fruit-fly (Drosophila) and explained in the same manner by means of the sex chromosome. I propose the name “diagynic heredity” for this kind of heredity, as the sex-linked character is transmitted from male...
