Regional inference with averaged P values increases the power to detect linkage.

Abstract excerpt

Controversy exists with respect to the choice of an appropriate critical value when testing for linkage in a genomic screen. A number of critical values have been proposed for single-locus and multi-locus linkage analyses. In this study, criteria based on multiple single-locus analyses (i.e., regional test criteria) are evaluated using simulation methods for three different map densities. Tests based on single...
