WHAT DOES EXPRESSIVITY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Expressivity

Expressivity is a term used in genetics to refer to variations in a phenotype among individuals carrying a particular genotype. It is determined by the proportion of individuals with a given genotype who also possess the associated phenotype. This differs from penetrance, which refers to the likelihood of the gene generating its associated phenotype at all. In contrast, expressivity refers to the influence of an expressed gene at the level of particular individuals. Expressivity can therefore be used to characterize qualitatively or quantitatively the extent of phenotypic variation within a particular genotype. The term is analogous to the severity of a condition in clinical medicine. For example, the volume of blood ejected from the pumping heart with each contraction, relative to the total amount of blood contained in the heart's chamber can be quantified by echocardiography and is called the ejection fraction. If a specific genotype is associated with the development of congestive heart failure, the expressivity would be represented by the range of ejection fractions seen in patients that have that genotype.

Definition of expressivity in the English dictionary

The definition of expressivity in the dictionary is the quality of being expressive. Other definition of expressivity is the strength of the effect of a gene on the phenotype.
