Question
Chapter 21.4, Problem 1BTS
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The potential consequence of an error in one of the genes inmultiple gene interactions.
Introduction:
Multiple gene interaction or polygeneis the group of genes that interact additively to give rise to a particularphenotype. The interacting allelic pairs may be present on differentchromosomes. This results in variation in the

Which of the following conditions is most likely to be successfully treated by gene therapy using a
viral vector to deliver a wild-type copy of one gene that is present in mutant form in a person with
the condition? Assume that the viral vector used has the ability to home to relevant target tissues.
Also assume that the patient can be treated at a young enough age to avoid irreversible phenotypic
impacts of the mutation described.
