Abstract

Assortative mating for a given phenotype is the phenomenon by which mates select each other based on their phenotypic similarity. Other phenomena can create positive correlation between the parents’ and the offspring’s environment: vertical cultural transmission, or dynastic effects. When these phenomena occur together, they induce a gene-environment correlation at the population scale. It will impact genetic measures of associations such as SNP effect size and SNP-heritability estimates.
