Inheritance, multifactorial: A type of hereditary pattern seen when there is more than one genetic factor and, sometimes, environmental influence.

Type 2 diabetes is multifactorial because it is due to inherited (genetic) factors but may also require environmental factors, such as obesity, to develop.
