Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: The general aim of this paper is to reactivate the original intention behind the Elston-Stewart algorithm: i.e. physiological characterisation of the effects of individual loci underlying quantitative variation. The specific aim is the estimation of allele frequency and epistasis in multifactorial genetic diseases. METHODS: In a general genetic model, the probability of disease is a sigmoid function...
