The probabilistic determination of identity-by-descent sharing for pairs of relatives from pedigrees.

American journal of human genetics - 1 Nov 1990

Amos C I, Dawson D V, Elston R C

Abstract excerpt

Methods for detecting genetic linkage are more powerful when they fully use all of the data collected from pedigrees. We first discuss a method for obtaining the probability that a pedigree member has a given genotype, conditional on the phenotypes of his relatives. We then develop a rapid method...
