多位点杂合性（MLH）和两个健身代理人，增长率和波动的不对称性之间公布的相关系数的荟萃分析表明，这些相关性的强度一般较弱。荟萃分析中包括各种植物和动物。包括植物和动物的MLH-生长速率相关系数的统计学均质组产生了r（z）= 0.133的共同相关性。三种鲑科鱼类的MLH与波动不对称性之间的相关性为r（z）= -0.170。这些结果表明，选择，包括超显性，最多有一个微弱的影响，在等位酶位点，并提出了一些疑问，广泛持有的概念，杂合性和个人健身强烈相关。
Meta-analyses of published correlation coefficients between multilocus heterozygosity (MLH) and two fitness surrogates, growth rate and fluctuating asymmetry, suggested that the strength of these correlations are generally weak. A variety of plants and animals was included in the meta-analyses. A statistically homogeneous group of MLH-growth rate correlation coefficients that included both plants and animals yielded a common correlation of r(z) = 0.133. A common correlation of r(z) = -0.170 was estimated for correlations between MLH and fluctuating asymmetry in three species of salmonid fishes. These results suggest that selection, including overdominance, has at most a weak effect at allozyme loci and cast some doubt on the widely held notion that heterozygosity and individual fitness are strongly correlated.
