ankistruggles I think they were getting at how developing T1DM and schizophrenia are both multifactorial. I don’t remember what the other choices were off the top of my head, but they had clear inheritance patterns. +7

pathogen7 Just as a slight tangent, is there a difference between "multifactorial" and "polygenic" inheritance? +

ac3 polygenic = multiple genes affect phenotype while multifactorial = genes, environmental factors, etc that can affect phenotype +1

sars Multifactorial: cleft lip, cleft palate, type 1 diabetes mellitus, sjogren syndrome, pyloric stenosis, congenital heart disease, neural tube defects +

The way I approached this question was by thinking that schizophrenia has a multifactorial inheritance pattern(lots of enviroment influence). So I looked for a disease that also has a multifactorial inheritance pattern, thought of DM1 because it is an autoimmune disease and most of them have a multifactorial inheritance(ie you may have DR3 or DR4, but you need the enviromental influence to actually attack your own pancreas)
