Genes, Environment-Lifestyle, and Common Diseases
_____
- is the incident rate of a disease among individuals exposed to a risk factor divided by the incidence rate of the disease among individuals not exposed to the risk factor
- many factors including _____, _____, _____, _____, and _____ of the disease can influence the risk
- -complex interactions occur among _____ and _____ factors; each factor can be quantified in terms of _____
relative risk age gender diet exercise family history genetic nongenetic relative risks
_____:
-traits caused by the combined effects of multiple genes
-focus is on the _____- usually many (poly) _____
_____:
-genetic and environmental or lifestyle factors cause the variations in traits
-additive effects of many _____ and _____ factors cause _____ traits
_____:
-are measured on a continuous numeric scale
-follow a normal bell curve for distribution
polygenic traits genes genes multifactorial traits genetic environmental multifactorial quantitative traits
_____
- is hard to determine in _____ diseases
- -number of _____ contributing to the disease is usually not known, precise _____ of parents is also not known, and the extent of environmental effects can vary substantially
- _____: is based on direct observation of data; is specific for each multifactorial disease
- recurrence risks of multifactorial diseases can substantially change because the _____, _____, and _____ factors can differ among population
- recurrence risk become _____ if more than one family member is affected
- if the expression of the disease in the proband is more severe, then the recurrence risk is _____
- if the proband is of the less commonly affected sex, then the recurrence risk is _____
- recurrence risk for the disease usually _____ rapidly in remotely related relatives
recurrence risks multifactorial genes allelic constitution empirical risks gene frequencies environment lifestyle higher higher higher decreases
QUESTION 1
recurrence risk in multifactorial diseases is:
1. rapidly increased when more distant relatives are affected
2. lower if the disease is more severe in the proband
3. higher if the proband is the more commonly affected sex
4. higher if more than one family member is affected
4

- -a preliminary indication of the extent to which _____ may cause a multifactorial disease is provided
- _____
- -a genetic predisposition may interact with an environmental factor to _____ the risk for a disease to be a much higher level than either factor would alone

increase
