Abstract excerpt
Extremely discordant (ED) sibpairs have been shown to be very powerful for linkage analysis of human quantitative traits [Risch and Zhang (1995) Science 268: 1584-1589]. In many cases, the extremely concordant (EC) sibpairs collected in the process of screening for ED sibpairs carry valuable information for linkage. Therefore, it seems justifiable to investigate the advantages of genotyping and to include them...
