This trait has been speculated by David D. Whitney in 1950 to be a dominant trait inherited separately from tongue rolling. [11] Other tongue ability is folding the tip of the tongue upwards, which has been proposed as a recessive trait in a 1948 study, with possible epistatic interaction with the rolling gene. [5] [11]
Ostravik-Lindemann-Solberg syndrome, also known as heart defect-tongue hamartoma-polysyndactyly syndrome is a rare, multi-systemic genetic disorder which is characterized by congenital heart defects, tongue hamartomas, postaxial polydactyly of the hand, and syndactylism of the foot.
Heart-burial is a type of burial in which the heart is interred apart from the body. In medieval Europe heart-burial was fairly common among the higher echelons of society, as was the parallel practice of the separate burial of entrails or wider viscera: examples can be traced back to the beginning of the twelfth century.

Mendelian traits behave according to the model of monogenic or simple gene inheritance in which one gene corresponds to one trait. Discrete traits (as opposed to continuously varying traits such as height) with simple Mendelian inheritance patterns are relatively rare in nature, and many of the clearest examples in humans cause disorders.
Human genetics is the study of inheritance as it occurs in human beings.Human genetics encompasses a variety of overlapping fields including: classical genetics, cytogenetics, molecular genetics, biochemical genetics, genomics, population genetics, developmental genetics, clinical genetics, and genetic counseling.
Full trisomy 9 is a rare and fatal chromosomal disorder caused by having three copies of chromosome number 9.It can be a viable condition if the trisomic component affects only part of the cells of the body or in cases of partial trisomy of the short arm (trisomy 9p) in which cells have a normal set of two entire chromosomes 9 plus part of a third copy of the short arm ("p") of the chromosome.

Heredity, also called inheritance or biological inheritance, is the passing on of traits from parents to their offspring; either through asexual reproduction or sexual reproduction, the offspring cells or organisms acquire the genetic information of their parents.
