Abstract
After a brief discussion and evaluation of Fisher's additive polygenic inheritance model, a few other approaches to polygenic inheritance are discussed, notably the polygenic threshold model. A literature review of applications of such models in human genetics is presented, and a simple approach, based on a finite polygenic model, is developed in detail. The fit of the model to recurrence risks in schizophrenia is discussed.
