## Abstract For a genetic study in which there are concordant and discordant sibpairs for a complex disease trait and the measurements of other endophenotypes/intermediate phenotypes for each of the individuals are also available, we describe an alleleβsharing based multipoint linkage test that uti

The first step in the construction of a linkage map involves the estimation and test for linkage between all possible pairs of markers. The lod score method is used in many linkage studies for the latter purpose. In contrast with classical statistical tests, this method does not rely on the choice o
Alzheimer disease (AD) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease leading to global dementia. In addition to sporadic forms of AD, familial forms (FAD) have been recognized. Mutations in the amyloid precursor protein (APP) gene on chromosome (CHR) 21 have been shown to cause early-onset AD in a smal
