Abstract excerpt
Our aim was to compare the sensitivity of 4 analytical methods to detect linkage to a known disease susceptibility locus, HLA-DRB1, in 100 rheumatoid arthritis sibling pair families with incomplete parental genotype information. Genotypes for the HLA-DRB1 and HLA-A loci were analyzed using (1) identity-by-descent (IBD), considering inheritance of maternal and paternal alleles separately; (2) maximum likelihood...
