Abstract excerpt
There is much interest in use of identity-by-descent (IBD) methods to map genes, both in Mendelian and in complex disorders. Homozygosity mapping provides a rapid means of mapping autosomal recessive genes in consanguineous families by identifying chromosomal regions that show homozygous IBD segments in pooled samples. In this report, we point out some potential pitfalls that arose during the course of...
