Abstract excerpt
Extreme discordant sibling-pair (EDSP) designs have been shown in theory to be very powerful for mapping quantitative-trait loci (QTLs) in humans. However, their practical applicability has been somewhat limited by the need to phenotype very large populations to find enough pairs that are extremely discordant. In this paper, we demonstrate that there is also substantial power in pairs that are only moderately...
