第六章 多基因遗传病 Chapter 6 Multifactorial diseases 一、Mechanism of Multifactorial Inheritance Monogenic inheritance----Qualitative character non-continuous variation
Quantitative featunres----continuous variation 如:stature (height), skin color, weight
mentality (intelligence),blood pressure and so on 疾病中,先髋脱、原发性高血压、胃溃疡、糖尿病、精分症等均可显示一定的家族史,提示其有遗传基础,但又不如monogenic disease 那样特征显明
近亲发病率低于单基因病的复发风险,约10%左右,但高于population incidence
(Slide: T5-2 双生子调查表明遗传因素的作用) 这类性状或疾病的遗传是Mendel 提出的多因子遗传,即由多对基因决定的,而且受环境因素的影响很大
基因的行为符合分离律和自由组合律
So, the polygenic inheritance is also called as multifactorial inheritance including the function of genetic factor and environmental factor
The difference between polygene and monogene ⑴The polygene is co-dominant, without dominant or recessive
⑵The function of single polygene
