Localization and identification of human quantitative trait loci: king harvest has surely come.

Abstract excerpt

The scientific process of localization and subsequent identification of genes influencing risk of common diseases is still in its infancy. Initial localization of disease-related loci has traditionally been performed using family-based linkage methods to scan the genome. Early pronouncements of the failure of this approach for common diseases were premature and based on comparing suboptimal linkage designs with...
