Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Modelling of variation in identical-by-descent (IBD) allele sharing using covariates can increase power to detect linkage, identify covariate-defined subgroups linked to particular marker regions, and improve the design of subsequent studies to localize genes and characterize their effects. In this report, we highlight issues that arise in studies of families with affected relatives. METHODS: Mirea et...
