Figure 1 Bivariate segregation model, including unmeasured etiologic factors (represented by circles). g = a major locus, G = a multifactorial/polygenic component, and E = a nontransmitted environmental residual. Each of these factors potentially affect the measured phenotypes (represented by squares). Trait 1 is BMI, and trait 2 is FM. Single-headed arrows indicate the assumed direction of causation, and double-headed arrows indicate correlation.
