Abstract excerpt
I determine the second-order approximation for the phenotypic distribution of an arbitrary number of quantitative traits, ignoring the effects of epistasis and linkage disequilibrium, conditioned on the presence of a specified genotype at one underlying locus of small effect. Using this approximation, I determine formulae for the effects of selection at a single locus with random mating under either Gaussian...
