A pattern of inheritance which results from the interaction of one or more genes with environmental factor(s), (see Genetics Fact Sheet 10: Environment and Genetics - Multifactorial Inheritance).
A pattern of inheritance caused by the interaction of one or more genes and environmental factors, which are often unknown e.g. susceptibility to schizophrenia or diabetes mellitus.
The type of inheritance show by traits that are determined by a combination of multiple factors, such as genetic and environmental.
(synonym: polygenic) The combined contribution of one or more often unspecified genes and environmental factors, often unknown, in the causation of a particular trait or disease
a type of genetic inheritance in which a feature appears as a result of a number of genetic and non-genetic factors.
due to the influence of multiple genes and environmental influences
A pattern of inheritance exhibited by a number of conditions, such as heart disease, diabetes, and certain birth defects. Multiple genetic or non-genetic factors--not just one--are involved in causing a Multifactorial condition.
Inheritance of traits that are determined by a combination of the effects of many genes and environmental factors.
A phenotypic outcome (physical characteristic or disease predispostion) that is determined by more than one gene. Polygenic refers to those determined by many genes, while oligogenic refers to those determined by a few genes.
The occurrence of a phenotype as a result of the action of more than one gene and/or of environmental factors.
