The behaviors of some heritability estimators in the complete absence of genetic factors.

Human heredity - 1 Jul 1999

Guo S

Abstract excerpt

Heritability is an important concept in quantitative genetics and is widely used in human genetics. A high or even a moderate value of heritability estimate is usually taken as evidence for a genetic component for a quantitative trait. In this paper, the behaviors of some correlation-based heritability estimators are reexamined under the assumption of complete absence of any genetic factors. It turns out that...
