This paper describes a simulated data set created as Problem 2 for GAW11. The generating model for Problem 2 involved two different genetic diseases, or "types," in three separate populations. The two-locus (2L) type results from the epistatic interaction of two genetic loci, and the three-allele type, from a single locus with two disease-causing alleles and one normal allele. Each type has two phenotypic forms:...
