TL;DR: Replication of the strongest associations with an independent sample of 302 phenotypically extreme individuals derived from 1000 crosses of Egfr(E1) to freshly trapped males and a tendency for the rarer alleles to have more disrupted eye development suggests that mutation-selection balance is a possible mechanism contributing to maintaining cryptic variation for Egfr.
