5. I've been marking exams this week, and our latest exam howler is:

Q: "Name a disorder with multifactorial causation" (this was in contrast with single-gene disorders).

A: "Intelligence".

Perhaps some of the people in the health lounge would also regard intelligence as a disorder with multifactorial causation! Or more likely causedc by just one factor: vaccines!
