It has been suggested that this article be merged into quantitative trait locus. (Discuss) Proposed since September 2006.

Polygenic inheritance is the inheritance pattern of a trait controlled by two or more genes. Genes may be on the same or different chromosomes and each gene may have two or more alleles.
