Little is known about the cause of hypospadias, one of the most common urogenital anomalies in males. Familial clustering of hypospadias is well recognized, with heritability estimated to be about 70%under a simple multifactorial threshold model. Neither alternative genetic mechanisms nor shared env

## Abstract A predominance of small low‐density lipoprotein (LDL) particles, as determined by gradient gel electrophoresis (GGE), has been proposed to be a common genetic marker for risk of coronary heart disease. Previous analyses of the families in the Berkeley data set defined a dichotomous trai
Migraine is the most common neurological disorder, affecting about 20% of adults. The mode of inheritance was analyzed in the two main types of migraine, migraine without aura (MO) and migraine with aura (MA), by complex segregation analysis using the computer program POINTER. We included 126 proban
Using sib-pairs and parent-pairs data, a quantitative trait can be tested for the existence of a major locus under the mixed model of MORTON and B ~C L E A N (1974). The basic idea is t j obtain the two conditional likelihoods for sib-pair differences and parent-pair differences provided that it is
By using eib-pairs and parent-pairs data, proposed a method to test the existence of a 2-allele major locus for a quantitative trait. This method is extended to include three alleles at a major locus in this paper. One may perform this extension in a feasible and practical manner. To show the advan
