Abstract excerpt
Nonparametric sib-pair analysis (Haseman-Elston) was used to search for evidence of linkage between a putative locus for a complex quantitative trait Q1 and genome-wide markers (367 markers from 10 chromosomes) for the first 100 replicates of nuclear family data. The characteristics of the statis...
