A monogenic system refers to a system that is governed or determined by a single gene or a single genetic expression. In the context of genetics, "monogenic" indicates that a particular trait or characteristic is controlled by one gene as opposed to polygenic traits, which are influenced by multiple genes. Monogenic disorders are genetic conditions that arise from mutations in a single gene. Examples of monogenic disorders include cystic fibrosis, sickle cell anemia, and Huntington's disease.
