Heterogeneity is a major factor in many common, complex diseases and can confound linkage analysis. Using computer-simulated heterogeneous data we tested what effect unlinked families have on a linkage analysis when heterogeneity is not taken into account. We created 60 data sets of 40 nuclear famil

## Abstract What happens to the results of linkage analysis when one assumes that a disease results from a single genetic locus with reduced penetrance when the actual cause is two epistatically interacting loci? We wanted to (1) determine whether assuming the correct mode of inheritance at the lin
Two rare types of familial periodontitis, a localized form usually diagnosed in late adolescence, and a more generalized form with a latter mean age of diagnosis, have been analyzed with respect to genetic models currently favored in the dental literature. These include autosomal recessive and X-lin
## Abstract The concept of haplotype sharing (HS) has received considerable attention recently, and several haplotype association methods have been proposed. Here, we extend the work of Beckmann and colleagues [2005 Hum. Hered. 59:67β78] who derived an HS statistic (BHS) as special case of Mantel's
