Scan statistics to scan markers for susceptibility genes.

Abstract excerpt

Scan statistics are applied to combine information on multiple contiguous genetic markers used in a genome screen for susceptibility loci. This information may be, for example, allele sharing proportions for sib pairs or logarithm of odds (lod) scores in general small families. We focus on a dichotomous outcome variable, for example, case and control individuals or affected-affected versus affected-unaffected...
