Summary Introduction
To determine: The term epistasis.
Introduction: Many studies based on pedigree analysis, adoption studies, family studies, and twin studies showed that genetic components are involved in many parts of human behavior. Genetic and behavior models are required to explain observed patterns of inheritance or interaction of traits that control behavior.
