Glidden and Liang [2002] have raised important issues regarding ascertainment adjustment in the framework of variance-components modeling for complex genetic traits. While the structure of the authors' logistic variance-component model is simple, ascertainment issues arising with this model are like
The complex diseases continue to provide new challenges for genetic epidemiology. In the current edition of Genetic Epidemiology, Glidden and Liang [2002] consider the effect of latent heterogeneity in disease risk on ascertainmentadjusted parameter estimates, particularly in variance components mod
Results from the study by Sherrington et a]. [1988] indicate that the maximum lod score (3.2) from a linkage analysis between narrowly defined clinical diagnostic criteria for schizophrenia and polymorphic markers on chromosome 5 is lower than that (6.5) from an analogous analysis between broadly de
For diseases with a complex mode of inheritance, such as schizophrenia, traditional linkage analysis assuming Mendelian inheritance of a single gene may be expected to have relatively low power, but to occasionally detect (in fortuitous pedigree samples) either a rare gene which by itself causes the
