Medical Genetics Multifactorial inheritance is responsible for the greatest number of individuals that will need special care or hospitalization because of genetic diseases

Medical Genetics Multifactorial inheritance is responsible for the greatest number of individuals that will need special care or hospitalization because of genetic diseases

Medical Genetics Up to 10% of newborn children will express a multifactorial disease at some time in their life. atopic reactions, diabetes, cancer, spina bifida/anencephaly, pyloric stenosis, cleft lip, cleft palate, congenital hip dysplasia, club foot and a host of other diseases all result from multifactorial inheritance

Atopic reactions, diabetes, cancer, spina bifida/anencephaly, pyloric stenosis, cleft lip, cleft palate, congenital hip dysplasia, club foot, and a host of other diseases all result from multifactorial inheritance

Medical Genetics Some of these diseases occur more frequently in males. Others occur more frequently in females Environmental factors as well as genetic factors are involved

Medical Genetics 1. REGRESSION TO THE MEAN Multifactorial inheritance was first studied by Galton, a close relative of darwin and a contemporary of Mendel. Galton established the principle of what he termed regression to mediocrity

Medical Genetics Galton studied the inheritance of continuous characters, height il humans, intelligence in humans eto

Medical Genetics Galton studied the inheritance of continuous characters, height in humans, intelligence in humans, etc

Medical Genetics Galton noticed that extremely tall fathers tended to have sons shorter than themselves, and extremely short fathers tended to have sons taller than themselves, Tallness or shortness didn't breed true like they did in Mendel's pea experiments. The offspring seemed to egress to the median or "mediocrity

Medical Genetics When comparing height differences between men and women women are on average, 3 inches shorter. a woman with a certain number of tall genes will be, on average 3 inches shorter than a man with the same number when that difference is taken into account there is no selective bias in matings for tallness in human populations

Medical Genetics When comparing height differences between men and women, women are, on average, 3 inches shorter. A woman with a certain number of "tall" genes will be, on average, 3 inches shorter than a man with the same number. When that difference is taken into account, there is no selective bias in matings for tallness in human populations

Medical Genetics It is true than men tend to marry women who are shorter than themselves but that is a phenotypic difference, not a genotypic difference. Since the wives of taller than average men tend to represent the general population of women they wil not have, on the average as many tall genes to pass on to their offspring as their husbands
