NEW YORK - In a startling exception to classical genetics, mice in a lab experiment have inherited an effect of an aberrant gene without inheriting the gene itself.
​
Experts say the result may someday help scientists understand aspects of diabetes, infertility and other problems. They also said that while such an inheritance pattern has been seen before, it's not clear how common or important it is.

Wrong gene?
What about the possibility that they misidentified the gene responsible for the trait?

Re: Wrong gene?
It would be pretty coincidental that they got the trait turning up in exactly the crosses they did and really surprising when they turned up in crosses with wild type mice of the mice which had been injected with microRNAs which complement the KIT gene.
