✦ Synopsis

An analytical study is conducted of the properties of statistical tests to detect linkage between a disease locus and a very polymorphic marker locus when data on sib pairs are available. In most instances the most powerful test is the test based on the mean number of marker alleles shared identical by descent by the two members of a sib pair, and the most efficient sampling strategy is almost always to sample only pairs with both sibs affected. We show it is valid to use the information from all possible sib pairs as though they came from separate families when data on sibships of size three or larger are available, though more power may be obtained if different weights are given to the different sibship sizes.

Linkage analyses and association studies were employed to detect disease susceptibility loci leading to elevated Q1 levels in Problem 2B. Phenotypes were defined to be the dichotomous affection status, the quantitative value for Q1, and Q1 adjusted for covariates. The method of mod-scores (for the d
