Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVE: As the mode of inheritance is often unknown for complex diseases, a MOD-score analysis, in which the parametric LOD score is maximized with respect to the trait-model parameters, can be a powerful approach in genetic linkage analysis. Because the calculation of the disease-locus likelihood is the most time-consuming step in a MOD-score analysis, we aimed to optimize this part of the calculation to...
