## Abstract We present the βsumLINKβ statisticβthe sum of multipoint LOD scores for the subset of pedigrees with nominally significant linkage evidence at a given locusβas an alternative to common methods to identify susceptibility loci in the presence of heterogeneity. We also suggest the βsumLODβ

## Abstract We present a score for testing association in the presence of linkage for binary traits. The score is robust to varying degrees of linkage, and it is valid under any ascertainment scheme based on trait values as well as under population stratification. The score test is derived from a m
## Abstract The identification and characterization of genes that influence the risk of common, complex multifactorial diseases, primarily through interactions with other genes and other environmental factors, remains a statistical and computational challenge in genetic epidemiology. This challenge
