This is a known term in genetics and comes from a very reliable medical textbook, as cited in the article. Just because the article is short does not mean that the information is not relevant and worthy of being on wikipedia. Someone could elaborate on the article but this will no doubt come in handy to someone wondering what genetic heterogeneity is. Orlandoturner ( talk) 21:12, 25 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Maybe it should be merged into the larger heterogeneity article? 128.163.236.199 ( talk) 06:36, 14 December 2009 (UTC) reply

I don't think it should be merged into the heterogeneity article, but there exists a seperate article on Allelic heterogeneity that is just a stub and it does not seem as though both articles are necessary. Just a thought!! 92.8.248.8 ( talk) 11:58, 15 April 2010 (UTC) reply

Hello, I'm a student at Western University, and I'll be editing this page for my Advanced Genetics class. Jannel1126 ( talk) 20:15, 5 October 2015 (UTC) reply

Hi Jannel1126, I am thinking of some subheadings for this page and originally came up with breaking the paragraphs of allelic heterogeneity and locus heterogeneity into separate sections. I also am wondering about rather than including genetic disorders in the opening sentence, developing a subheading title: Applicable Genetic Disorders, or something to that effect. That would allow us to split up the basic definition of genetic heterogeneity and examples of where it is seen. What do you think?
