Abstract

Both regression and correlation estimates of genetical variance and heritability for a quantitative trait influenced by a major gene can be obtained from the error variance-covariance matrix of MANOVA using relative-relative phenotype pairs as factors. The method is illustrated with parent-offspring data on red cell acid phosphatase phenotypes and serum acid phosphatase activity.
