Abstract excerpt
Two-stage global search designs for linkage analysis using pairs of affected relatives were shown by Elston et al. [1996] to typically halve the cost of a study compared to a one-stage design. The statistic used for testing linkage in that study was based on the proportion of pairs sharing no marker alleles identical by descent (IBD). However, it has been established that the mean statistic often has the greatest...
