All polygenic traits would be Gaussian by default under the simplest assumptions. E.g. if there are N loci, and each locus has X alleles, and some of those alleles increase the trait more than others, the trait will ultimately present in a Gaussian distribution. i.e. if there are lots of genes that affect IQ, IQ will be a Gaussian curve across population. | ||
