Abstract excerpt
Traditional genetic studies focus on identifying genetic variants associated with the mean difference in a quantitative trait. Because genetic variants also influence phenotypic variation via heterogeneity, we conducted a variance-heterogeneity genome-wide association study to examine the contribution of variance heterogeneity to oil-related quantitative traits. We identified 79 unique variance-controlling single...
