The US system no longer requires kids to read actual books cover to cover. On chromosome deletions they are fascinating, since twins, with the same adverse chromosome deletion, can have wildly different symptoms. That's because genes are active instruction-bots responding to environment throughout development and life, not strict recipe books

As for the chromosome deletions, yes, genetics is quite a bit more complex than the pop-sci depiction, and cat coat colour genetics are really complicated.
