A general model for likelihood computations of genetic marker data accounting for linkage, linkage disequilibrium, and mutations.

Abstract excerpt

Several applications necessitate an unbiased determination of relatedness, be it in linkage or association studies or in a forensic setting. An appropriate model to compute the joint probability of some genetic data for a set of persons given some hypothesis about the pedigree structure is then required. The increasing number of markers available through high-density SNP microarray typing and NGS technologies...
