For linkage analysis in affected sibling pairs, we propose a regression model to incorporate information from a disease-associated single-nucleotide polymorphism located under the linkage peak. This model can be used to study if the associated single-nucleotide polymorphism marker partly explains the original linkage peak. Two sources of information are used for performing this task, namely the genotypes of the...
