Polygenic Trait Equilibrium

Polygenic Trait Equilibrium is a theoretical model in population genetics that describes the stable distribution of a quantitative trait under the opposing forces of recurrent mutation introducing genetic variation and natural selection removing deleterious variants, maintaining a dynamic balance in polygenic systems.
