I’m keen to share this preprint. There is growing evidence that associative overdominance leads to the maintenance heterozygosity and we wondered how this would affect variance for traits under stabilizing selection:

Maintenance of quantitative genetic variation in regions of restricted recombination via associative overdominance
Mutation-selection balance is the most plausible general mechanism for the maintenance of additive genetic variance (VA) for quantitative traits in natural populations. It is well established that the...
