This is a complexdisease involving many steps with proper signalling pathways.
1
It is a multifactorialdisorder with unclear etiology, affecting predominatly middle-aged women.
2
Obesity is a chronic, complex, multifactorialdisorder with increasing prevalence in modern society.
3
Cancer is a multifactorialdisorder involving multiplicity of interrelated signaling pathways and molecular targets.
4
Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a multifactorialdisorder characterized by a tridimensional deformation of the spine.
5
Cleft palate most commonly occurs as a sporadic multifactorialdisorder with a clear but difficult to define genetic component.
1
The potential for genetic screening of multifactorialdiseases, for example, cancers, should also be considered.
2
In humans, the elucidation of the genetics underlying multifactorialdiseases such as pre-eclampsia remains complex.
3
Overall genomic discoveries for preterm birth lag behind progress for many other multifactorialdiseases and traits.
4
The heritability of most common, multifactorialdiseases is rather modest and known genetic effects account for a small part of it.
5
Unfortunately, the use of these resources and their interpretation are not straightforward when applied to complex, multifactorialdiseases such as schizophrenia.
1
Basic tenets of genetic counseling, complexgeneticdisease, and management of adults with genetic diagnoses also are discussed.
2
T2DM is a complexgeneticdisease comprised of many metabolic disorders with a common phenotype of glucose intolerance.
3
Background: Asthma is a complexgeneticdisease characterized by reversible intermittent airway obstruction and respiratory symptoms primarily caused by acute and chronic bronchial inflammation.
4
Background: Asthma and allergic phenotypes are complexgeneticdiseases with known linkage to chromosome 5q.
5
Future directions, particularly with regard to the study of common complexgeneticdiseases, are also described.
6
This implies value in studying large well-characterized Ashkenazi populations to accelerate gene discovery in complexgeneticdiseases.
7
As with many complexgeneticdiseases, genome scans for prostate cancer have given conflicting results, often failing to provide replication of previous findings.
