Abstract excerpt
Recently, Liang et al. ([2001b] Genet. Epidemiol. 21:105-122) proposed a conditional approach to assess linkage evidence on the target region by incorporating linkage information from an unlinked (reference) region using allele shared IBD (identity-by-decent) from affected sib pairs. This is carried out by conditioning on the IBD sharing value at the estimated trait locus of the reference region. Since markers...
