Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: We present a parametric method for linkage analysis of quantitative phenotypes. The method provides a test for linkage as well as an estimate of different phenotype parameters. We have implemented our new method in the program GENEHUNTER-QMOD and evaluated its properties by performing simulations. METHODS: The phenotype is modeled as a normally distributed variable, with a separate distribution for...
