What is likely to be more important for the development of a more severe birth defect/condition?
Genetic influence is probably higher in more severe cases
If a multifactorial condition is due to a higher genetic influence, how does that affect recurrence risk?
The more genetic influence, the higher the recurrence risk
What is likely to be more important for the development of a birth defect in sex that is usually not affected by that birth defect?
Genetic influence/load is probably high if the less-frequently affected sex is affected
What increases recurrence risk for multifactorial conditions?
Closely related affected relative
Multiple affected relatives
More severe
Less affected sex is affected
What is the general recurrence risk for multifactorial conditions?
3-5%
