Complex Trait (Video #1)
Simple/monogenic/mendelian vs
polygenic/complex
Monogenetic = haemochromatosis =
have HFR mutation = no chromosome
6
- Blue = have genotype that give
rise to the disease but do not have
the phenotype because of
environment/modifiable genes.

Complex trait = stature: HMGA2 gene change =
affects height

1) By identifying heritability of particular trait.
heritability is the measure of how much
phenotypical variation due to genetic variation .
Family/twin studies!! Between 0-1. 0 = variation by
environment in phenotype. 1 = due to genetics.
2) Genetic variation important in complex trait.
3) How is the phenotype expressed in different
environment.
Polygenic Model (Video #2)
SCENARIO: only 2 alleles 1 locus
To understand how multiple genotype/genes
affect phenotype. Eg, Height
- Environmental fuzz = eg. Food, get
variation instead of a straight line

Document Summary
Monogenetic = haemochromatosis = have hfr mutation = no chromosome. 6 rise to the disease but do not have the phenotype because of environment/modifiable genes. Complex trait = stature: hmga2 gene change = affects height. To support that cad is polygenic complex trait: by identifying heritability of particular trait. heritability is the measure of how much phenotypical variation due to genetic variation . 1 = due to genetics: genetic variation important in complex trait, how is the phenotype expressed in different environment. Eg, height variation instead of a straight line. Major effect more effect than minor effects. Genes in our genome do not only have 1 effect! To see if family history has aggravated the determining a complex trait likelihood of contracting disease. Relative risk ratio decrease as genetic distance is greater. Variation in phenotype = composite of variation in genetics + environmental pressures.
