Thanks for the explanation.......I agree it fits the definition of hypo but if not reproducible via a recessive, codom or dominant gene then I guess it's just a different looking normal? But these normals are expressing something different than the norm due to the genes they are carrying......like markers? Visual hets? ----- John Lassiter
