Abstract excerpt
Positional gene discovery on pedigree data typically involves initial gross localization by linkage analysis with subsequent finer localization by association analysis in areas that show evidence of linkage. We examine the effect of including linkage information when testing for association in the context of variance-components-based pedigree analysis. We present simulation experiments showing that, at least in...
