The observation that haplotypes from a particular region of the genome differ between affected and unaffected individuals or between chromosomes transmitted to affected individuals versus those not transmitted is sound evidence for a disease-liability mutation in the region. Tests for differentiation of haplotype distributions often take the form of either Pearson's chi(2) statistic or tests based on the...
