An analysis is derived for a diallel experiment in which each cross is represented by a number of homozygous Unes developed by the doubled haploid method. Both additive and additive x additive genetic variances can be estimated with this analysis. A population-improvement scheme involving the double

β¦ Synopsis
The effect of gene association (or dispersion) and linkage on the estimation of genetic variances in a diallel experiment involving doubled haploid lines is evaluated. It is shown that the estimates of the additive and the additive X additive genetic variances, as obtained by Choo et al. (1979), are biased if genes are linked or are not independently distributed in the parents. However, this bias only occurs in the presence of interaction between homozygous loci. Gene association (or dispersion) and linkage, if present, can be detected by comparing the parental vs the crosses mean, the parental vs the doubled haploid lines variance, and the among vs the within crosses variance.

## Abstract A genetic variant is very likely to manifest its effect on disease through its main effect as well as through its interaction with other genetic variants or environmental factors. Power to detect genetic variants can be greatly improved by modeling their main effects and their interacti
