We compared the robustness of affected-sib-pair (ASP) tests for multiple-affected sibships. Forming all possible pairs increases the type I errors only slightly whereas the most used weighting procedures decrease the efficiency of the tests. Another weighting procedure accounting for the reduction o

## Abstract We address the analytical problem of evaluating the evidence for linkage at a test locus while taking into account the effect of a known linked disease locus. The method we propose is a multimarker regression approach that models the identity‐by‐descent states for affected sib‐pairs at

Nick examines the problem of testing for linkage between a disease susceptibility locus and a marker locus for sib-pair data.

## Abstract An improved sib‐pair test for linkage is introduced which is superior to the previously proposed tests. The test is derived from the standard chi‐squared goodness of fit statistic by restricting the alternative hypothesis to the genetically possible. Critical values are given and exact

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
