A combined segregation, linkage, and association analysis using the program COMBIN was performed on the simulated pedigree data prepared for the Second Genetic Analysis Workshop. The model used in COMBIN is described and the presented results illustrate its effectiveness in the analysis of such data

Joint multivariate segregation and linkage analysis provides a method for simultaneously analyzing data on affection status, correlated phenotypic traits, environmental risk factors, and other covariates. The power of this approach for mapping disease susceptibility loci of small effect (oligogenes)
We report a combined segregation and linkage analysis of a Danish sample of 2 16 insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) nuclear families: of these 2 16, twenty multiplex families were haplotyped regarding HLA-DR and -B markers. The analysis was conducted using the computer program COMBIN, which
## Abstract Varianceβcomponents (VC) linkage analysis is a powerful modelβfree method for assessing linkage, but the distribution of VC logarithm of the odds ratio (LOD) scores may deviate substantially from the assumed asymptotic distribution. Typically, the null distribution of the VCβLOD score a
