Abstract excerpt
Advances in human genome mapping have led to the identification of large numbers of genetic markers that allow systematic searches for multiple disease susceptibility genes for complex traits. A common design involves the recruitment of families with at least two children affected with the disease of interest. The objective is to find chromosomal regions that harbour susceptibility genes for the disease. The...
