Optimal allele-sharing statistics for genetic mapping using affected relatives.

Abstract excerpt

The choice of allele-sharing statistics can have a great impact on the power of robust affected relative methods. Similarly, when allele-sharing statistics from several pedigrees are combined, the weight applied to each pedigree's statistic can affect power. Here we describe the direct connection between the affected relative methods and traditional parametric linkage analysis, and we use this connection to give...
