Abstract excerpt
The aim of this study was to compare, under different models of gene-environment (G x E) interaction, the power to detect linkage and G x E interaction of different tests using affected sib-pairs. Methods considered were: 1) the maximum likelihood lod-score (MLS), based on the distribution of parental alleles identical by descent (IBD) in affected sibs; 2) the sum of the MLS (sMLS) calculated in affected...
