Relative risks and effective number of meioses: a unified approach for general genetic models and phenotypes.

Annals of human genetics - 1 Nov 2006

Kurbasic A, Hössjer O

Abstract excerpt

Many common diseases are known to have genetic components, but since they are non-Mendelian, i.e. a large number of genetic factors affect the phenotype, these components are difficult to localize. These traits are often called complex and analysis of siblings is a valuable tool for mapping them....
