Abstract excerpt
There have been recent reports of transmission-ratio distortion (TRD) or segregation distortion in families not selected for genetic disease. If TRD exists but is ignored, linkage studies searching for disease genes in affected relatives may be misinterpreted. We show that the identical-by-descent sharing patterns for affected sib pairs are strongly affected by TRD and, further, that the estimated statistical...
