Graded penetrance of phenotypic traits is shown. Depending on the number of mutant alleles (0, 2, or 4), phenotypic traits show different degrees of penetrance and may be classified in four distinct groups.

F1-a

Full penetrance is shown in bold letters.

F1-b

Altered phenotypic traits are italicized.

F1-c

Spont., spontaneous.

F1-d

Ctr, Center.
