text: In multivariate quantitative genetics, a genetic correlation (denoted r g {\displaystyle r_{g}} or r a {\displaystyle r_{a}} ) is the proportion of variance that two traits share due to genetic causes, the correlation between the genetic influences on a trait and the genetic influences on a different trait estimating the degree of pleiotropy or causal overlap.
