Mapping quantitative trait loci using multiple phenotypes in general pedigrees.

Abstract excerpt

The use of correlated phenotypes may dramatically increase the power to detect the underlying quantitative trait loci (QTLs). Current approaches for multiple phenotypes include regression-based methods, the multivariate variance of components method, factor analysis and structural equations. Issues with these methods include: 1) They are computation intensive and are subject to problems of optimization...
