Helpful tools:
Supporting materials include the following:

Primer: A genetics primer answers basic questions including,
What is a gene? Why do we have two copies of each gene? and What is a mutation? The Genetics Primer is available at all times on the menu bar at the top of the screen. The primer also centrally locates animations explaining the single gene patterns of inheritance you are most likely to encounter.

Pedigree symbols: The application of genetics concepts begins with the genetic family history, or pedigree. Information about the creation and interpretation of pedigrees is embedded in the case studies. A link to common pedigree symbols is provided in the upper right corner of all pedigrees for easy reference.

Vocabulary: Terms that are blue in the body of the case studies will provide pop-up definitions when clicked.

Clinical synopses: Clinical synopses for each condition highlighted in the case studies are available under the "clinical synopses" tab on the menu bar. These synopses include, but are not limited to, dental manifestations.

Resource Links: Several publications and live website links are available in the resources and links section for those who wish to pursue more in-depth information.
