Assumption G1 - Conditional independence of phenotypes given genotypes

Consider a strict-recessive model () with random mating and Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium at the DS locus, and the following extreme form of environmental covariance:

For this model, the ASP IBD probabilities for are given by

Hence, and for , and Assumption G1 is necessary for the triangle constraints.
