Abstract excerpt
Linkage disequilibrium (LD) testing is often used in the search for disease genes. In this study, we developed a method for calculating the expected power of genome-wide LD testing by using microsatellite markers under the following assumptions: (1) microsatellite markers have unequally frequent alleles, (2) markers are equally spaced through the human genome, (3) the degree of LD between the disease variant and...
