Affected sibpair linkage tests for multiple linked susceptibility genes.
Genetic epidemiology - 1 Jan 1997
Farrall M
Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide searches for susceptibility genes using pairs of affected siblings are being undertaken to dissect out individual polygenes that contribute to human multifactorial disease. Efficient identity-by-descent (IBD)-based sibpair linkage tests are available that test individual markers or maps of linked markers for linkage to a single putative susceptibility gene. In order to assess the support for linkage...
