Two approaches for consolidating results from genome scans of complex traits: selection methods and scan statistics.

Abstract excerpt

This work has two purposes: (i) empirically selecting levels of significance that maximize the fraction of markers close to a gene (hit rate) when performing linkage analyses of simulated data and (ii) evaluating the utility of a previously reported scan statistic on the same data. Genotype data were simulated from a trait model of seven susceptibility genes. For purpose (i), five statistics were evaluated on all...
