Abstract excerpt
A challenging issue in genetic mapping of complex human diseases is localizing disease susceptibility genes when the genetic effects are small to moderate. There are greater complexities when multiple loci are linked to a chromosomal region. Liang et al. [Hum Hered 2001;51:64-78] proposed a robust multipoint method that can simultaneously estimate both the position of a trait locus and its effect on disease...
