Genetic heterogeneity Similar phenotypes caused by mutations in more than one gene.
Genetic map A map showing the distances between markers in terms of the frequency of genetic recombination between them.

The biggest challenge in mapping the WSI locus is genetic heterogeneity and the lack of highly informative marker loci in the region.
If it is a disorder involving a single gene, include mention of any clinical variability; the mode(s) of inheritance; any genetic heterogeneity (locus and/or allelic); what is known about the gene(s) involved including the chromosomal locus/loci; ...
