Preferred term

multifactorial inheritance  

Definition

  • The multifactorial inheritance model applies to diseases that depend on multiple genetic loci (polygenic) and the additional contribution of environmental factors. Multifactorial diseases are the result of the interplay of multiple environmental risk factors with more than one gene, where these multiple genes are viewed as susceptibility genes.
