Science / Genetics / Polygenic Disorder: Genetic disorder resulting from the combined action of alleles of more than one gene (e.g., heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers). Although such disorders are inherited, they depend on the simultaneous presence of several alleles: thus the hereditary patterns usually are more complex than those of single-gene disorders.
