An entropy-based index for fine-scale mapping of disease genes.

Abstract excerpt

By comparing the entropy and the conditional entropy in a marker, an entropy-based index has been presented for fine-scale linkage disequilibrium gene mapping using high-density marker maps for human disease genes. The index can quantify the level of linkage disequilibrium (LD) between the marker and the disease susceptibility locus (DSL) of genes. The advantage of using the index is attributed to the fact that...
