Abstract excerpt
Using a novel approach for a two-locus model that provides a greatly increased power to detect multiple quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in simulated data, we identified in a sample of 961 female sib-pairs, three genome-wide significant QTLs for apolipoprotein A1 on chromosomes 8p21.1-q13.1 (LOD score 3.71), 9q21.32-33.1 (LOD score 3.28) and 10p15.1-p13 (LOD score 5.51), two for lipoprotein (a) on chromosomes...
