Practical approaches to determining disease-susceptible loci in multigenic autoimmune models.

Abstract excerpt

Linkage analysis using polymorphic DNA markers has paved the way toward the identification of genes responsible for rare recessive traits and for the susceptibility to certain tumors in humans. However, genetic susceptibility to common diseases, including systemic autoimmune diseases, is difficult to determine, hence has remained a challenging problem in the field of molecular genetics. Elucidation of multiple...
