Locating human quantitative trait loci: guidelines for the selection of sibling pairs for genotyping.

Eaves L, Meyer J

Abstract excerpt

Simulation studies were conducted to assess the relative merits of different nonrandom sampling strategies for the selection of sibling pairs for genotyping in the attempt to locate individual loci (QTLs) contributing to variation in human quantitative traits. For a constant amount of variation c...
