Familial sinistrality: the utility of calculating exact genotype probabilities for individuals.

Cortex; a journal devoted to the study of the nervous system and behavior - 1 Mar 1995

McManus I C

Abstract excerpt

Measures of familial sinistrality are frequently used in neuropsychological research. However they suffer from the problem that they are essentially a global measure of phenotypes in the family, whereas they are interpreted as an indicator of the genotype of the individual concerned. In this paper it is shown how to calculate a precise probabilistic estimate of a proband's genotype, given a particular genetic...
