Abstract Background Mendelian inheritance is a fundamental law of genetics. When we consider two genomes in a diploid cell, a heterozygote’s phenotype is dominated by a particular homozygote according to the law of dominance. Classical Mendelian dominance is concerned with which proteins are dominan...
