Linkage and linkage disequilibrium scan for autism loci in an extended pedigree from Finland
19 May 2009
Abstract excerpt
Population isolates, such as Finland, have proved beneficial in mapping rare causative genetic variants due to a limited number of founders resulting in reduced genetic heterogeneity and extensive linkage disequilibrium (LD). We have here used this special opportunity to identify rare alleles in autism by genealogically tracing 20 autism families into one extended pedigree with verified genealogical links...
