The 73 pages that link to Allele, each with the reason it gives.

• Autosomal recessive inheritanceNarrower topic: Each parent passes one allele of the relevant autosomal gene to a child.

• Autosomal dominant inheritanceNarrower topic: An altered allele is the inherited unit that can cause a dominant condition.

• Genetic recombinationNarrower topic: Recombination reshuffles alleles into new combinations without necessarily changing their sequences.

• Major histocompatibility complexNarrower topic: MHC genes occur in many allelic forms, producing diverse peptide-binding preferences.

• Linkage disequilibriumNarrower topic: Disequilibrium describes associations among alternative forms at different positions.

• Gregor MendelNarrower topic: Alleles provide the modern vocabulary for Mendel’s inherited factors.

• Reproductive isolationNarrower topic: Gene flow moves alleles across population boundaries when reproductive barriers are incomplete.

• Cat coat geneticsNarrower topic: Different alleles at coat-color loci can produce distinct pigments or patterns.

• Population bottleneckNarrower topic: A bottleneck changes which alleles survive and how common they become.

• Tumor suppressor geneNarrower topic: Tumor suppressor genes often have two alleles whose functions can be lost separately.

• Variable expressivityNarrower topic: The allele involved helps define the genotype whose phenotypic effects vary.

• Hardy–Weinberg principleNarrower topic: Alleles are the variants whose population proportions the principle describes.

• X-linked recessive inheritanceNarrower topic: An X-linked variant is an allele whose effects depend on chromosome context.

• Dominance (genetics)Narrower topic: Dominance describes how alternative alleles relate in a heterozygote.

• HeterozygosityNarrower topic: Heterozygosity requires different alleles at the same locus.

• HaploinsufficiencyNarrower topic: Haploinsufficiency concerns the output remaining when one of a gene's two alleles is impaired.

• Pedigree chartNarrower topic: Alternative alleles can account for differing trait status among relatives.

• Quantitative geneticsNarrower topic: Differences among alleles provide genetic variation underlying trait differences.

• Coalescent theoryNarrower topic: Coalescing lineages are sampled copies of alleles at genetic loci.

• CodominanceNarrower topic: Codominance describes how different alleles at one gene are expressed together.

• Sex-linked inheritanceNarrower topic: Different alleles at sex-chromosome genes produce the inherited trait variants.

• Incomplete dominanceNarrower topic: The two alleles contribute differently to the heterozygote’s phenotype.

• Independent assortmentNarrower topic: The law describes how alleles at different loci are distributed among gametes.

• DNA fingerprintingNarrower topic: A DNA profile records which alleles occur at selected genetic locations.

• Restriction fragment length polymorphismNarrower topic: Different fragment patterns can distinguish alleles at a locus and track their inheritance.

• Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiencyNarrower topic: Different SERPINA1 alleles produce different levels of deficiency and protein dysfunction.

• HeterozygousNarrower topic: Heterozygosity means carrying different alleles at the same locus.

• Dominant traitNarrower topic: A dominant trait appears when at least one allele contributes to its expression.

• HomozygousNarrower topic: Homozygosity compares the alleles present at one locus.

• Recessive traitNarrower topic: A recessive trait arises from how particular alleles combine and function.

• Lethal alleleNarrower topic: A lethal allele is a gene variant whose effect depends on the genotype carrying it.
