Estimation of allele frequencies with data on sibships.

Abstract excerpt

Allele frequencies are generally estimated with data on a set of unrelated individuals. In genetic studies of late-onset diseases, the founding individuals in pedigrees are often not available, and so one is confronted with the problem of estimating allele frequencies with data on related individuals. We focus on sibpairs and sibships, and compare the efficiency of four methods for estimating allele frequencies...
