Abstract excerpt
It is well known that the Haseman-Elston (H-E) sib-pair linkage method does not assume that the genetic model underlying the trait phenotype is known without error, although this assumption is made for marker loci. However, misspecification of allele frequencies at the marker locus decreases power when some or all parental genotypes are unknown. In this study, the power of the H-E sib-pair method was compared for...
