Examples of genetic models represented as penetrance functions. Genetic interaction models can be represented as penetrance functions based on many different types of underlying genetic models. Three examples are shown here. The value in each box indicates the penetrance, or the probability of disease given that genotype combination. The value, x, can be any value such that the resulting penetrance value is between 0 and 1.
