Genetic Dissection of Complex Traits
... It is often impossible to find a genetic marker that shows perfect cosegregation with a complex trait. The reasons for this can be ascribed to a few basic problems. Incomplete penetrance and phenocopy. Some individuals who inherit a predisposing allele may not manifest the disease (incomplete penetr ...
