Dear Jim,
Go to the WWW page on OMIM (on-line Mendelian Inheritance in Man) at Johns
Hopkins. It has information on every Mendelian locus that has been
reported and gives references to the primary literature.
Good luck,
John

>> I recall Tommy Smothers was like that, and I had a dog like that.
>I know eye color transmission in humans is sort of Mendelian, but not

>>Can anyone direct me to a reference (it doesn't have to be a primary

>explains how individuals can have two different colored eyes?
>>Thanks in advance, Jim Garey
