Incomplete PenetranceIncomplete Penetrance The phenotype is not always observed among The phenotype is not always observed among
individuals carrying the genotype – express or notindividuals carrying the genotype – express or not DD or Dd - only 80% show polydactylyDD or Dd - only 80% show polydactyly
Variable Expressivity• A phenotype that varies in intensity
Polydactyly two extra digits on each hand and foot vs. one extra digit on one foot Individuals with the same genotype for familial hypercholesterolemia have varying levels of symptoms

Genetic HeterogeneityGenetic Heterogeneity
• Different genes can produce identical phenotypes
• Genes may encode for different enzymes in a biochemical pathway
Clotting disorders
