Patterns of genetic variation in Mendelian and complex traits.

Abstract excerpt

This review discusses the prospects for understanding the genetic basis of complex traits in humans. We take the view that work done on Drosophila melanogaster can serve as a model for understanding complex traits in humans, and the literature on this model system, as well as on humans, is reviewed. The prospects for success in understanding the genetic basis of complex traits depend, in part, on the nature of...
