Abstract excerpt
We investigated the utility of two approaches for exploiting pleiotropy to search for genes influencing related traits. To do this we first assessed the genetic correlations among a set of five closely related quantitative traits (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4, Q5). We then used the genetic correlations among these five traits both to remove the common genetic effects of the four remaining traits, thereby identifying the unique...
