A variance components/major locus likelihood approximation on quantitative data.

Abstract excerpt

The variance components/major locus model encompasses a major locus, a polygenic component, and shared environmental effects. The model attributes familial correlations to polygenic and shared environmental effects when testing for major locus inheritance or accounts for the major locus when estimating variance components. Because exact computation of the likelihood of the variance components/major locus model on...
