Abstract excerpt
We describe an association mapping approach that utilizes linkage disequilibrium (LD) maps in LD units (LDU). This method uses composite likelihood to combine information from all single marker tests, and applies a model with a parameter for the location of the causal polymorphism. Previous analyses of the poor drug metabolizer phenotype provided evidence of the substantial utility of LDU maps for disease gene...
