Studies of large human populations have determined that the penetrance of a particular PRSS1 mutation, Arg122His, is 86%. What does this means for individuals with the predisposing genotype?
It means that they have an 86% chance of showing the associated phenotype.
Explanation:
Arg122His is associated with the gene that carries the genetic characteristics. Its percentage gives the chance of getting the phenotypic appearance.
Two particular elements are composed in a gene, phenotype and genotype. Phenotype gives the actual look of an organism where genotype is the genetic information.
PRSS1 in any organism is responsible for protein coding gene that instructs for the production of certain types of enzymes.
