Likelihood-based disequilibrium mapping for two-marker haplotype data.

Abstract excerpt

We report a theory that gives the sampling distribution of two-marker haplotypes that are linked to a rare disease mutation. The sampling distribution is generated with successive Monte Carlo realizations of the coalescence of the disease mutation having recombination and marker mutation events placed along the lineage. Given a sample of mutation-bearing, two-marker haplotypes, the maximum likelihood estimate of...
