Prospects for association-based fine mapping of a susceptibility gene for a complex disease.
Theoretical population biology - 1 Nov 2001
Kaplan N, Morris R
Abstract excerpt
The potential of association studies for fine-mapping loci with common disease susceptibility alleles for complex genetic diseases in outbred populations is unclear. For a battery of tightly linked anonymous genetic markers spanning a candidate region centered around a disease locus, simulation methods based on a coalescent process with mutation, recombination, and genetic drift were used to study the spatial...
