Abstract excerpt
The Haseman & Elston (1972) sibling-pair regression method has been used to detect and estimate the variance contribution to observed values of a quantitative trait by allelic variation in specific candidate genes. The procedure was developed under a model with a single biallelic trait locus. This assumption does not hold for several known systems. In this paper we prove that for candidate gene analysis the...
