## Abstract Gene mapping for complex diseases is still a challenge in genetic studies. For familyβbased studies, the singleβlocus methods for detecting linkage and linkage disequilibrium (LD) one at a time may not capture the assumed interaction between multiple causal genes efficiently. We propose
Linkage analysis and association studies, two major approaches for genetic studies of human diseases, are useful for mapping genes that are highly penetrant, but both use only part of the information that is available for mapping disease genes. Therefore, they provide limited utility when used alone
Linkage disequilibrium mapping exploits the fact that at genetic markers close enough to a disease locus on a particular chromosome, we expect to find an association between the disease and marker alleles. Furthermore, the magnitude of the association is expected to follow a unimodal curve when plot
## Abstract Linkage disequilibrium mapping has proven a powerful tool for locating disease genes. Although all existing linkage disequilibrium mapping methods implicitly assume that individual haplotypes can be inferred, only genotypes are directly observable in practice, and haplotypes cannot alwa
