Abstract excerpt
For one- and two-trait-locus models, we show that the lod score based on affected relative pairs or trios is a monotonically increasing function of the genome similarity measured by the proportion of alleles shared identical by descent (IBD) conditional on observed marker data. These results can be generalized to multitrait-locus models. Thus, we can use conditional probability of genes shared IBD as a tool to...
