Genetic Analysis Workshop II: sib pair screening tests for linkage
1Department of Biometry, Louisiana State Univeristy Medicial Center, New Orleans, LA.
Abstract:
For each marker locus and for every pair of sibs with data available in the 1983 workshop data, the proportion of genes identical by descent was estimated. The mean proportions were compared between concordant and discordant sib pairs, and the mean proportion for concordantly affected pairs was compared with one half. Together with standard tests of association, these found to be sensitive screening tests for linkage.
