This definition sucks.

Top Importance[edit]

Any particular reason this is rated top-importance on Project MCB? RubberTyres (talk) 22:16, 24 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see any reason for it myself. Perhaps Grander13 finds it a compelling topic? Since it's obviously not a foundational subject for olecualr/cell biology (indeed its 'only' a "rare, relatively benign autosomal recessive bilirubin disorder of unknown origin") I'm going to drop it to a more-approriate lower class... — Scientizzle 22:09, 7 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Genetics, Regarding Inheritance[edit]

This information may be inaccurate. There is no fertility impairment with Rotor syndrome, so parents do not need to be heterozygotes - they may be homozygous recessive and display symptoms of Rotor syndrome as well. In other words, they may each carry 1 or 2 recessive alleles. 76.183.40.200 (talk) 15:11, 13 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
