Abstract excerpt
A multiple-regression model is described for the detection of linkage disequilibrium in quantitative trait loci. The model is developed for application to large numbers of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers genotyped on small nuclear families. Parental data are not required by the method, although it provides a direct means to test quantitative trait locus-marker allele association and to determine...
