Abstract excerpt
Variance component methods are now being used in linkage analysis to detect genes influencing complex diseases. These methods are easily extended to allow for simultaneous estimation of both the additive effects of multiple loci on phenotypic variation (conditional oligogenic analysis) and the additive interaction (epistatic) effects among loci. We performed linkage analyses on 200 of the simulated replicates in...
