Genetics of subdivided populations and its relationships with certain measures of association

Abstract:
Unlike inbreeding, population subdivision affects different genotypes differently for multiple alleles, so that the simple relationship between inbreeding and subdivision for two alleles no longer holds for all genotypes. In this communication, the detailed effects of subdivision have been studied for three alleles with results easily generalized to any number of alleles. Then an average effect of subdivision is proposed. This average effect of subdivision is found to play the same role as the inbreeding coefficient for multiple alleles, so that the overall relationship between inbreeding and subdivision may be reestablished again. In the final section, we discuss the relationship of the genetic result with measures of association of square contingency tables arising from epidemiological, social studies, educational and psychological studies.
