Extended multipoint identity-by-descent analysis of human quantitative traits: efficiency, power, and modeling considerations.

Abstract excerpt

Goldgar introduced a novel marker-based method for partitioning the variation of a quantitative trait into specific chromosomal regions. Unlike traditional linkage mapping methods, Goldgar's method does not require the estimation of statistical quantities characterizing each locus thought to influence the trait under scrutiny (e.g., allele frequencies, penetrances, etc.). Goldgar's method is thus more flexible...
