AB For  there  even  to  be  a  chapter  titled  "Atypical  Inheritance"  in  a  book  that  focuses  on  human  genetics,  we  are  actually  highlighting  an  important  fact.  On  one  hand,  in  spite  of  our  developmental  and  functional  complexity,  the  number  of  genetic  rules  is  surprisingly  small.  The  mechanisms  of  inheritance  are  generally  so  direct  that  most  examples  are  "typical."  But  that  is  not  always  the  case.  The  path  from  an  inherited  DNA  sequence  to  an  expressed  phenotype  can  sometimes  be  a  convoluted  and  complex  one.  Most  of  the  time  this  complexity  is  seen  in  the  way  genetic  processes  and  their  products  interact  with  each  other  and  with  the  environment.  But  not  always.
