This is an interesting thread. After doing a lot family genealogy we have found two families (who didn't know the other existed) where the girls are born deaf or very hard of hearing but the males hear. Of course, we don't know if this is or is not genetically based.
I think an offshoot of current genealogy research is its use as an unscientific tool through which one might discover, monitor and (perhaps) enable future generations to prevent or ameliorate some diseases.
