Combining information within and between pedigrees for mapping complex traits.

Abstract excerpt

This paper is concerned with efficient strategies for gene mapping using pedigrees containing small numbers of affecteds and identity-by-descent data from closely spaced markers throughout the genome. Particular attention is paid to additive traits involving phenocopies and/or locus heterogeneity. For a sample of pedigrees containing a particular configuration of affecteds, e.g., pairs of siblings together with a...
