Le symbole utilisé pour désigner l'héritabilité est h2, même s'il s'agit d'un rapport plutôt que du carré d'une quantité. Traditionnellement, h sert à exprimer la racine carrée de h2 lorsque c'est nécessaire. L'héritabilité au sens étroit (Vad/Vp) est implicite, à moins que le contexte ne le précise autrement. À l'occasion, on utilise des indices pour les distinguer : soit hé2 pour héritabilité au sens étroit et hl2 pour héritabilité au sens large. 1, record 1, French, - h%C3%A9ritabilit%C3%A9%20au%20sens%20%C3%A9troit
