Mapping multiple genes for quantitative or complex traits.

Abstract excerpt

Models for complex and quantitative traits that involve multiple, possibly interacting, genes are described. Methods of linkage analysis are developed that utilize special features of these models, and their power is compared with that of simple genome scans that ignore these special features. Our calculations show that for family-based nonparametric linkage analysis in human genetics, in contrast to experimental...
