Abstract excerpt
A unique method of partitioning human quantitative genetic variation into effects due to specific chromosomal regions is presented. This method is based on estimating the proportion of genetic material, R, shared identical by descent (IBD) by sibling pairs in a specified chromosomal region, on the basis of their marker genotypes at a set of marker loci spanning the region. The mean and variance of the...
