.@ewanbirney No - model just says when have N alleles you're fine, but N+1 (or small number) and you're diseased. Purely genetic threshold

.@AndrewSabisky @Abebab Yes, in theory could be an interaction. But trends over time w/in pop'ns => envt'l diffs most important

.@AndrewSabisky @Abebab Have same thing with Flynn effect. Far too rapid a change in IQ w/in pop'ns for it to be genetic

.@AndrewSabisky Emphasises point that heritability is not a fixed biological constant but a relative measure just in population tested

.@pnin1957 @Abebab No, not really. Mean diffs b/w pop'ns could be entirely environmental, even with high h2: pic.twitter.com/8IOFXV3ePi

Yes, this makes the point nicely. Environmental diffs across Europe masked genetic effects on body mass index twitter.com/StuartJRitchie…

.@pnin1957 @Abebab No. Low h2 => group diffs prob not genetic. High h2 => they could be, but doesn't give a probability. At all.

.@pnin1957 @Abebab Really? Large environmental diffs are rare outside the lab?!? What utopia are you living in?

.@pnin1957 @Abebab Doesn't have to be perfect. Have large average envt'l diffs b/w pop'ns, b/w groups (by SES for example) and over time

.@pnin1957 @Abebab Average environmental differences can show up in group average phenotypic differences, exactly what is under discussion

.@pnin1957 @smomara1 Here's another. Avg IQ in Ireland in 1970: ~85. By 2000: >100. Not genetic. Likely due to urbanisation/better education

Yaniv Erlich 💔 @erlichya

@dgmacarthur @ewanbirney Ewan, do you refer to statistical epistasis or molecular epistasis?

Daniel MacArthur @dgmacarthur

@erlichya @ewanbirney I assumed statistical; that's where the debate is.
