Residual linkage: why do linkage peaks not disappear after an association study?

Abstract excerpt

Family-based candidate gene and genome-wide association studies are a logical progression from linkage studies for the identification of gene and polymorphisms underlying complex traits. An efficient way to analyse phenotypic and genotypic data is to model linkage and association simultaneously. An important result from such an analysis is whether any evidence for linkage remains after fitting polymorphisms at...
