Abstract excerpt
The power to detect a quantitative trait locus (QTL) in sib-pair data is investigated. We assume that we have at our disposal 3 or 4 related phenotypic measures in a sample of sib-pairs. Individual differences in these phenotypes are due to a common QTL and specific (i.e., unique to each phenotype) nonshared environmental and specific polygenic additive effects. In addition, models are considered that include...
