Abstract excerpt
We address the analytical problem of evaluating the evidence for linkage at a test locus while taking into account the effect of a known linked disease locus. The method we propose is a multimarker regression approach that models the identity-by-descent states for affected sib-pairs at a series of linked markers in terms of the identity-by-descent state at the known disease locus. Our method allows analysis to be...
