A quantitative model of the relationship between phenotypic variance and heterozygosity at marker...

Discusses a quantitative genetic model of inbreeding by analogy with heterozygosity-fitness relationships. Focus on partial inbreeding and its consequences on heterozygosity-variance and heterozygosity-mean correlations; Analysis of the effects of different genetic determinisms of the phenotype and the number of marker loci; Two factors promoting genotypic correlations.
