What is the significance of difference in phenotypic variability across SNP genotypes?

American journal of human genetics - 8 Aug 2013

Sun Xiangqing, Elston Robert, Morris Nathan, Zhu Xiaofeng

Abstract excerpt

We studied the general problem of interpreting and detecting differences in phenotypic variability among the genotypes at a locus, from both a biological and a statistical point of view. The scales on which we measure interval-scale quantitative traits are man-made and have little intrinsic biological relevance. Before claiming a biological interpretation for genotype differences in variance, we should be sure...
