For Mendelian disorders, it is usually simple to classify individuals as either affected or unaffected. By contrast, for "complex" phenotypes, the diagnostic boundary of the disorder is often uncertain. This paper explores the following question: to most efficiently detect linkage in such a complex
## Abstract It has been shown that twoβlocus linkage analysis can, for some twoβlocus disease models, be used to detect effects at disease loci that do not reach significance in a genome scan. However, few examples exist where twoβlocus linkage has been successfully used to map genes. We study the
The purpose of this commentary is to provide a framework for using the well-known sib-pair methodology in the context of epidemiologic study designs. Using examples from the Pittsburgh family studies of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, we illustrate that the sib-pair method can be used in family
