When the distance between linked loci is expressed in terms of the correlation between the identity-by-descent (idb) values of the loci, then a path model may be used to order loci with data on sib-pairs and their parents. The relationship between the recombination fraction and the correlation coeff

## Abstract For complex traits, it may be possible to increase the power to detect linkage if one takes advantage of covariate information. Several statistics have been proposed that incorporate quantitative covariate information into affected sib pair (ASP) linkage analysis. However, it is not cle
Sib pairs drawn from the simulated common oligogenic disease families were selected for extreme quantitative trait scores and analyzed using interval mapping and multipoint methods. Linkage analyses of 112 selected sib pairs, in which one or more members had trait values exceeding the disease thresh
Model-free sib-pair linkage analysis was used to screen the GAW9 -Problem 1 data set for evidence of linkage of a rare disease to any of 360 highly polymorphic marker loci. Negative regressions nominally significant at the 01 = 0.05 level were obtained for 44 markers; however all of these proved to
We used sib-pair linkage analysis as part of an epidemiologic approach to solving Problem 2 of the GAW10 data set of nuclear families. We recoded the quantitative trait Q1 into a dichotomous trait using Q1 $ 40 as the cut-point. In a case-control design of sib-pair analysis, the affected siblings of
Assessing heterogeneity in affected relative pair linkage analysis can help control type I error or identify important subgroups. We develop a method to incorporate covariates into sib-pair analysis, and hence are able to test for covariate effects on allele sharing in sib pairs. We propose a way of
