Abstract

A phenocopy is an individual showing features (phenotype) characteristic of a genotype but produced environmentally rather than genetically (not inherited); these features are not due to mutations, as the underlying DNA sequence of the phenocopy is not altered.

Keywords: Phenocopies; Rubella retinopathy.
