• Source: Mendelian traits in humans

Mendelian traits in humans are human traits that are substantially influenced by Mendelian inheritance. Most – if not all – Mendelian traits are also influenced by other genes, the environment, immune responses, and chance. Therefore no trait is purely Mendelian, but many traits are almost entirely Mendelian, including canonical examples, such as those listed below. Purely Mendelian traits are a minority of all traits, since most phenotypic traits exhibit incomplete dominance, codominance, and contributions from many genes. If a trait is genetically influenced, but not well characterized by Mendelian inheritance, it is non-Mendelian.

Non-Mendelian traits


Most traits (including all complex traits) are non-mendelian. Some traits commonly thought of as Mendelian are not, including:

Eye Color
Psychiatric diseases
Hair color
Height
