Abstract excerpt
For a genetic study in which there are concordant and discordant sibpairs for a complex disease trait and the measurements of other endophenotypes/intermediate phenotypes for each of the individuals are also available, we describe an allele-sharing based multipoint linkage test that utilizes nonparametrically the additional endophenotypes/intermediate phenotypes. The usefulness of this method is evaluated in...
