Ernst Mayr's theory illustrated in genetic epidemiology studies

... view is that major and minor are properties of an interactive genetic system, and, depending on the frequencies of the interacting factors, some genes seem to play a larger role than others at any given time. "The real causation of the trait is at the interaction level and not the single gene level, and theref...
