Analysis of quantitative trait loci.

Abstract excerpt

Diseases with complex inheritance are characterized by multiple genetic and environmental factors that often interact to produce clinical symptoms. In addition, etiological heterogeneity (different risk factors causing similar phenotypes) obscure the inheritance pattern among affected relatives and hamper the feasibility of gene-mapping studies. For such diseases, the careful selection of quantitative phenotypes...
