Association studies under general disease models.

Abstract excerpt

There is great expectation that the levels of association found between genetic markers and disease status will play a role in the location of disease genes. This expectation follows from regarding association as being proportional to linkage disequilibrium and therefore inversely related to recombination value. For disease genes with more than two alleles, the association measure is instead a weighted average of...
