Abstract excerpt
In traits suspected to be governed by at least two loci, linkage analysis incorporating the joint action of both loci may improve the power to detect linkage, increase the precision of estimating locus positions and provide insight into the underlying etiological mechanism. Recently, we mapped two susceptibility loci for epilepsy-related photosensitivity (or photoparoxysmal response, PPR) at regions 7q32 (PPR1)...
