Population heterozygote advantage (black) may be observed even when resistance is not overdominant, but only dominant, additive, recessive or only underdominant, as long as allele frequencies are sufficiently far toward the lower right of the parameter space (high diversity of resistant alleles and low diversity of susceptible alleles).
Each panel reflects a different assumption about the true genetic basis of resistance - assuming that resistant alleles are overdominant; dominant; additive; recessive; or underdominant.
Specifically, population heterozygote advantage may be observed when resistance is additive (heterozygotes have risks equal to the average of the risks of the corresponding homozygotes), when resistance is recessive, or even when it is underdominant (heterozygotes have higher risk of disease than either corresponding homozygote).
