Abstract excerpt
In two previous articles, we have considered sample sizes required to detect linkage for mapping quantitative-trait loci in humans, using extreme discordant sib pairs. Here, we examine further the use of extreme concordant sib pairs but consider the effect of parents' phenotypes. Sample sizes necessary to obtain a power of 80% with concordant sib pairs at a significance level of .0001 are given, stratified by...
