- W2016005647 abstract "Some fundamental issues in developing the quantitative genetics of heritable traits are addressed. Such a trait must be capable of being represented as a quantity. Choice of the metric can be satisfactorily made only in the light of some insight into the nature of the trait and what its revealing characteristics may be. This insight is likely to change as more is known about the process, so the form and detail of the analysis is not static but perhaps continually evolving. Much has been made out of sample means and, at a more sophisticated level, Galton-Fisher theory (the analysis of the first two moments of multivariate Gaussian variates). However, at least some processes seriously violate the assumptions underlying that theory. One such group comprises traits in which the means are unvarying and the genetic message lies in other aspects of the distribution; in these circumstances the standard summary statistics such as heritability, regression, and correlation may be totally uninformative, distracting, or even misleading. This paradox is illustrated by reference to homeostasis, where the Mendelian component lies, not in the mean, but in the degree of laxity of control. Since estimating higher moments is notoriously imprecise, the suggested remedy is the familial and commonsense one of exploring the genetics of the intermediate states and underlying mechanisms and not only that of the resultant (bottom-line) phenotype. In our chosen problem, the task of relating the outcome to the basic mechanism of inheritance calls for a detailed understanding of the homeostasis involved." @default.
