Restrictions on components of variance for epistatic models.
Theoretical population biology - 1 Oct 1998

Abstract excerpt
If a disease is caused by several loci, then the additive variance at each locus may represent only small portions of the total genetic variance, while epistatic variance components may explain a significant amount of the total genetic variance. In this paper we first give simple general formulations to derive all the components of total genetic variance in a random sample for any multilocus model. We then derive...
