Variable penetrance may also reflect the action of unlinked modifier genes, epigenetic changes or environmental factors. ![]() The penetrance of some pathogenic genotypes is known to be age- and/or sex-dependent. It may also result from differential allelic expression, copy number variation or the modulating influence of additional genetic variants in cis or in trans. Reduced penetrance can be a function of the specific mutation(s) involved or of allele dosage. ![]() Reduced penetrance may therefore explain not only why genetic diseases are occasionally transmitted through unaffected parents, but also why healthy individuals can harbour quite large numbers of potentially disadvantageous variants in their genomes without suffering any obvious ill effects. ![]() Reduced penetrance is not uncommon indeed, there are many known examples of ‘disease-causing mutations’ that fail to cause disease in at least a proportion of the individuals who carry them.

You can see all the links on Amazon widget below. I also grabbed some animals in my Meijer toy department. I couldn’t find them all in one nice package so I decided to order several Toob sets.
