Alpha level
is the type 1 error rate for the genetic association study.
Maternal effect
is the percent variance in the trait explained by maternal effects at the locus.
Fetal effect
is the percent variance in the trait explained by fetal effects at the locus.
Residual correlation
between maternal and fetal phenotype refers to the residual correlation
between the phenotypes
after the effect of the locus has been removed.
