Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have revealed that the genetic contribution to certain complex diseases is well-described by Fisher's infinitesimal model in which a vast number of polymorphisms each confer a small effect. Under Fisher's model, variants have additive effects both across loci and within loci. However, the latter assumption is at odds with the common observation of dominant or recessive rare...
