Genetics Terms

My goal is to reduce educational disparities by making education FREE.
These videos help you score extra points on medical school exams (USMLE, COMLEX, etc.)
For educational purposes only; NOT medical or other advice.
Some videos contain mild profanity and hyperbole solely used to assist with memorization. Viewer discretion advised.
Opinions are entirely my own.

variable expressivity = 1 gene, different phenotype in 2 or more people
pleiotropy = 1 gene, different phenotype in one person

mnemonic: pleiotropy has 1 word, variable expressivity has 2 words

Yeay!

I donate 2 dollars to you every month for a while now and I encourage everybody that uses this channel and feels like it’s helpful to do the same!

It’s less than a cup of coffee to me/us and the least we can do so you can keep going with these awesome videos.

You deserve the best in life for sharing your tricks and helping us in our reviews. 🙏🏽🙏🏽

If my couple of dollars ever stop 🛑 you can assume I’m dead 😵

If it goes up, it means I matched the program I wanted. 🤓😇😘

I legit went looking for this video last week and was like, "I bet Dirty has something on genetics!". You rock Dirty!

[samirel-sawaf]

Thank you so much for these videos, I just became a patron! I'm taking STEP 1 in 2 weeks and I've literally written in time in my study schedule to review many of your videos, which have also helped me get through my classes this year! You're the best.

Dirty Medicine saves me every single time! Literally just finished a practice exam and went "well, I don't remember any of these terms", and then your video pops up!

Another term that tripped me up (even though it seems obvious) was "Dominant Negative" mutation... It's synonymous with an autosomal dominant disease, but worded super weird (i.e. the dominant mutation leading to a negative, which is the disorder). Maybe this is just a COMLEX thing, but I'm pretty sure I saw it on NBMEs.

[TJPetersongottalovelearning]

[nehadharap]

[cecevirda]

[tane]

Honestly whenever I’m having trouble with a concept I rush to YT to see if there’s a dirty med video on it and when I do find it I sigh a sigh of relief lol 😂😂

Hi, I would like to contribute but there is no flexibility in payment methods. It only shows an option for ₹799 monthly through card. Could you provide a UPI payment option?

[DannyPrinceps]
