Abstract excerpt
We previously developed a method of partitioning genetic variance of a quantitative trait to loci in specific chromosomal regions. In this paper, we compare this method--multipoint IBD (identical by descent) method (MIM)--with parametric multipoint linkage analysis (MLINK). A simulation study was performed comparing the methods for the major-locus, mixed, and two-locus models. The criterion for comparisons...
