Levels of multiallelic overdominance fitness, heterozygote excess and heterozygote deficiency.

Theoretical population biology - 1 Feb 1990

Karlin S

Abstract excerpt

Concepts and results on selection balance in multiallelic systems are described. These include a multidimensional concept of heterozygote excess and heterozygote deficiency, a hierarchy of means of assessment of heterozygote advantage, comparisons and contrasts of allelic versus gametic polymorphic states, and conditions defining stable equilibria of complementary gametic sets. The concepts are illustrated in the...
