Expert Solution

Introduction:

Penetrance refers to the fraction of people who have a specific genetic mutation and exhibit the accompanying phenotype, or observable qualities.
In other words, it is the extent to which a genetic mutation causes a specific trait to be expressed.
Penetrance varies for different mutations and traits and can be complete (all individuals with the mutation exhibit the trait), partial (some individuals with the mutation express the trait), or low (where few individuals with the mutation express the trait).
Penetrance is affected by a number of factors, including the existence of other genetic or environmental factors, and can differ even within the same family.
