Abstract excerpt
When studying either qualitative or quantitative traits, tests of association in the presence of linkage are necessary for fine-mapping. In a previous report, we suggested a polytomous logistic approach to testing linkage and association between a di-allelic marker and a quantitative trait locus, using genotyped triads, consisting of an individual whose quantitative trait has been measured and his or her two...
