Logarithm of odds (lods) for linkage in complex inheritance.

Abstract excerpt

Lod scores provide a method to unify linkage tests based on identity by descent and identity in marker state while permitting selection of the most informative individuals through their disease-related phenotypes and markers in relatives.
