Linkage analysis of "necessary" disease loci versus "susceptibility" loci.

Abstract excerpt

The association of some diseases with specific alleles of certain genetic markers has been difficult to explain. Several explanations have been proposed for the phenomenon of association, e.g. the existence of multiple, interacting genes (epistasis) or a disease locus in linkage disequilibrium with the marker locus. One might suppose that when marker data from families with associated diseases are analyzed for...
