Abstract excerpt
The extent and distribution of linkage disequilibrium ( LD) in humans is a current topic especially for gene mapping of complex diseases. Akaike's information criterion ( AIC) was applied to estimate LD and compared with other standard LD measures, D' and r(2). By comparison of an independent model (IM; linkage equilibrium) and a dependent model (DM; linkage disequilibrium), the parsimonious model is the one with...
