Epistasis in quantitative trait locus linkage analysis: interaction or main effect?
Behavior genetics - 1 Mar 2004
Purcell Shaun, Sham Pak C
Abstract excerpt
This paper explores a two-locus variance components model of quantitative trait locus (QTL) linkage for sib-pairs that incorporates epistasis. For a range of epistatic models the expected variance components and noncentrality parameter per sib-pair can be calculated, to indicate the power to detect epistasis. In QTL linkage analysis, additive and epistatic effects are in fact partially confounded; as a result,...
