- So these are not classical Mendelian genetic diseases of large effect.
- And what really changed my mind was the Mendelian randomization studies.
- And thanks to improvements in our understanding of genetics and Mendelian in the Gregor Mendel sense.
- So he believes that traits followed a normal curve rather than Mendelian genetics.
- And he, you know, wrote a series of papers that still are very relevant today about sort of this Mendelian inheritance of continuum like traits.
Examples
-
To a teacher, basic principles of Mendelian genetics may be simple and elegant, but students rarely feel the same way.

At present, the principal targets of clinical trials are those disorders that are caused by a single gene—disorders of the Mendelian type.
Academic text (2005) -
Genetic deviations are characterized thus as single-gene, also called Mendelian disorders, chromosomal disorders, multifactorial disorders, and mitochondrial disorders.
Academic text (2005) -
Lamarck's theories, published 50 years before Darwin's On the Origin of Species, were accepted by Darwin and others until the rise in the early 1900s of Mendelian genetics, which holds that inherited traits come solely through genes.

Morphology
Mendelian = Mendel (transparent) = Mendel + ian
Productive formation from the proper name 'Mendel' with the suffix '-ian' yielding an adjective meaning 'relating to Mendel' which is directly inferable.
Etymology
Mendelian comes from the name Mendel, a scientist who used pea plants to find simple rules about how traits pass from parents to children. That's why Mendelian describes traits or diseases that follow those clear 'inheritance' patterns.
