Abstract excerpt
Linkage and linkage disequilibrium tests are powerful tools for mapping complex disease genes. We investigated two approaches to identifying markers associated with disease. One method applied linkage analysis and then linkage disequilibrium tests to markers within linked regions. The other method looked for linkage disequilibrium with disease using all markers. Additionally, we investigated using Simes' test to...
