Abstract excerpt
The minimum physical distance surrounding a candidate gene has been determined in founder populations by studying allele sharing and then mapping historical recombination events. In this study, we developed a novel minimalistic approach by using the genetically isolated population of Tasmania, Australia, to identify candidate gene loci in a small number of individuals of unknown genetic relationship affected by a...
