The penetrance of these phenotypes was background dependent. |
Gorlin's syndrome is an autosomal-dominant disorder with complete penetrance and variable expression. |
Red stripe appears as a diffuse stripe of pigment on the dorsum of larvae and pupae and is variable in expressivity and penetrance. |
If scientists identify 100 individuals with the same mutation, and 75 of them have disease, the penetrance is 75 percent. |
Because of reduced penetrance, individuals of different genotypes can have the same phenotype. |
Clouston syndrome is an hidrotic form of ectodermal dysplasia, inherited as an autosomal dominant trait with high penetrance. |
