For the analysis of quantitative traits in nuclear families, extreme discordant sib pairs proved to be more powerful than unselected sib pairs. Here, we present a test that makes use of selected pairs and, in addition, restricts the parameters of the identical-by-descent distribution analogously to

## Abstract Identification of genes involved in complex traits by traditional (lod score) linkage analysis is difficult due to many complicating factors. An unfortunate drawback of non‐parametric procedures in general, though, is their low power to detect genetic effects. Recently, Dudoit and Speed
