    This study introduces a new non-parametric test to detect linkage between quantitative and Mendelian traits across multiple family generations. The test offers a flexible approach for genetic analysis in diverse family structures.

    Area of Science:

    • Genetics
    • Statistical genetics
    • Quantitative genetics

    Background:

    • Linkage analysis is crucial for understanding the genetic basis of complex traits.
    • Existing methods may have limitations in detecting linkage between different types of genetic characters.
    • Family-based studies are essential for dissecting genetic architectures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a novel non-parametric statistical test for detecting linkage.
    • To assess the applicability of the test across families with varying generational data (one, two, or three generations).
    • To provide a comprehensive discussion on the test's limitations, advantages, and disadvantages.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a non-parametric statistical test.
    • Application of the test to simulated or real family data with quantitative and Mendelian characters.
