Family-based association analysis with tightly linked markers.

Abstract excerpt

Refining genomic regions which have been identified by linkage analysis to contain a disease susceptibility locus has proven to be a challenging task. Detecting association between the disease and a genetic marker can significantly narrow down the candidate region. Since an adequate sample of families is already available from the genome scan, family-based association tests may be used to search for association....
