Abstract excerpt
Current genome-wide linkage-mapping single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels with densities of 0.3 cM are likely to have increased intermarker linkage disequilibrium (LD) compared to 5-cM microsatellite panels. The resulting difference in haplotype frequencies versus that predicted may affect multipoint linkage analysis with ungenotyped founders; a common haplotype may be assumed to be rare, leading to...
