Abstract excerpt
It is commonly believed that multiple interacting genes increase the susceptibility of genetically complex diseases, yet few linkage analyses of human diseases scan for more than one locus at a time. To overcome some of the statistical and computational limitations of a simultaneous search for two disease susceptibility loci in the presence of epistasis, we developed new score statistics to simultaneously scan...
