Classifying disease chromosomes arising from multiple founders, with application to fine-scale haplotype mapping.

Abstract excerpt

The availability of high-density haplotype data has motivated several fine-scale linkage disequilibrium mapping methods for locating disease-causing mutations. These methods identify loci around which haplotypes of case chromosomes exhibit greater similarity than do those of control chromosomes. A difficulty arising in such mapping is the possibility that case chromosomes have inherited disease-causing mutations...
