Abstract excerpt
Association analysis, based on linkage disequilibrium between specific alleles in the candidate loci and nearby genetic markers, has been proposed to identify genes conferring susceptibility to multifactorial diseases. Using the affected sib-pair method, we previously mapped four candidate chromosomal regions, 1p32, 2q33-q35, 11p13-p14, and 21q21, for gastric cancer by linkage analysis. To identify genes involved...
