The complexity of the genotype-phenotype relationship and the limitations of using genetic "markers" at the individual level.

Science in context - 1 Jan 2000

Templeton A R

Abstract excerpt

Many associations have recently been discovered between phenotypic variation and genetic loci, causing some to advocate what Robert Sinsheimer has called "a new eugenics" that would treat genetic "defects" in individuals prone to a disease. The first premise of this vision is that genetic association studies reveal the biological cause of the phenotypic variation. Once the responsible genes are known, the second...
