 #### Heritability, h<sup>2</sup>:
 
-Heritability is a rough measure of the ability to use genetic information to predict the level of variation in phenotypes among progeny. Values range from 0 to 1 (or 0 to 100%). A value of 1 or 100% means that a trait is entirely predictable based on paternal/materinal and genetic data (for example, a strong Mendelian trait), whereas a value of 0 means that a trait is not at all predictable from information on gene variants. Estimates of heritability are highly dependent on the environment, stage, and age.

 Important traits that affect fitness often have low heritabilities because stabilizing selection reduces the frequency of DNA variants that produce suboptimal phenotypes. Conversely, less critical traits for which substantial phenotypic variation is well tolerated, may have high heritability. The environment of laboratory rodents is unnatural, and this allows the accumulation of somewhat deleterious mutations (for example, mutations that lead to albinism). This leads to an upward trend in heritability of unselected traits in laboratory populations--a desirable feature from the point of view of the biomedical analysis of the genetic basis of trait variance. Heritability is a useful parameter to measure at an early stage of a genetic analysis, because it provides a rough gauge of the likelihood of successfully understanding the allelic sources of variation. Highly heritable traits are more amenable to mapping studies. There are numerous ways to estimate heritability, a few of which are described below. [Williams RW, Dec 23, 2004]
