Using simulations, we investigate the statistical properties of Mukai's approach, which is intended to estimate the average (h\u00af) of hi across loci by regression of outcrossed progeny on the sum of the two corresponding homozygous parents. A new approach for estimating h\u00af is also developed, utilizing data on families formed by multiple selfed genotypes from each outcrossed parent, thus not requiring constructing homozygotes. Assuming constant mutation effects, h can be estimated accurately by both approaches under dominance. When rare alleles have low frequencies at any polymorphic locus, Mukai's approach can estimate h accurately under over(under)dominance. Therefore, the (over)dominance hypothesis for heterosis can be tested by estimating h, under either dominance or overdominance at all genomic loci. However, this is invalid with more plausible mixed dominance and overdominance at different loci. Estimating the variance of hi across loci is also investigated. In self-compatible outcrossing populations with mutations of variable effects and lethals, our new approach is better than Mukai's, not only because of not requiring homozygotes but also because of the better statistical performance reflected by the smaller mean square errors of the estimates.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/genetics\/148.4.2003","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,2,12]],"date-time":"2021-02-12T23:52:03Z","timestamp":1613173923000},"page":"2003-2014","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":20,"title":["Estimating Within-Locus Nonadditive Coefficient and Discriminating Dominance Versus Overdominance as the Genetic Cause of Heterosis"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"148","author":[{"given":"Hong-Wen","family":"Deng","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Osteoporosis Research Center, Department of Medicine, Creighton University, Omaha, Nebraska 68131"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[1998,4,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2022010309002765000_R1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"522","DOI":"10.1038\/352522a0","article-title":"Effects of a change in the level of inbreeding on the genetic load","volume":"352","author":"Barrett","year":"1991","journal-title":"Nature"},{"key":"2022010309002765000_R2","volume-title":"The Genetics of Human Populations","author":"Cavalli-Sforza","year":"1971"},{"key":"2022010309002765000_R3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"237","DOI":"10.1146\/annurev.es.18.110187.001321","article-title":"Inbreeding depression and its evolutionary consequences","volume":"18","author":"Charlesworth","year":"1987","journal-title":"Annu.
