Allele-sharing among affected relatives: non-parametric methods for identifying genes.

Statistical methods in medical research - 1 Feb 2001

Shih M C, Whittemore A S

Abstract excerpt

Non-parametric linkage analysis examines similarities among affected relatives in alleles of one or more genetic markers (pieces of DNA at known locations on a chromosome). The objective is to evaluate departures from the null hypothesis that the markers are not near a disease gene. Under the null hypothesis, Mendel's laws give the probabilities that a set of relatives exhibits a particular allele-sharing...
