The proportion of the organism in a population that carries the alleles for causing disease is referred to as penetrance. Penetrance is categorized into complete and incomplete penetrance. The condition in which a specific genotype that expressed into its phenotype is possessed by a lesser amount of people is known as reduced penetrance.
