2、 primary carephysicians.We will illustrate how we establish the role of heredity on any trait,and then methods to position the particular genes that influence such a trait.WHAT IS A COMPLEX TRAIT?Trait=phenotype.Disease causation/etiology/origin:The old conundrum of:Nature(heredity)versus nurture(en
