Detailed scientific explanation of the “wizarding gene” in Harry Potter

Geneticist takes on why the wizarding gene isn't always dominant - dominance does not explain muggle-borns, squibs, or the steady inheritance pattern of magical abilities; but I got your back.  Magical ability could be explained by a single autosomal dominant gene if it is caused by an expansion of trinucleotide repeats with non-Mendelian ratios of inheritance.
