Abstract excerpt
Model-free LOD-score methods are often employed to detect linkage between marker loci and common diseases, with samples of affected sib pairs. Although extensions of the basic one-disease-locus model have been proposed that allow separate inclusion of other types of affected relative pairs, discordant relative pairs, covariates, or additional disease loci, a unified framework that can handle all of these features...
