## Abstract By adapting a well‐known affected‐relative‐pair linkage model that can incorporate covariate or sub‐phenotype information [Olson, 1999: __Am J Hum Genet__ 65:1760–1769], we have developed a recursive‐partitioning (RP) algorithm (tree‐based model) for identifying phenotype and covariate

## Abstract We describe a new program lm\_twoqtl, part of the MORGAN package, for parametric linkage analysis with a quantitative trait locus (QTL) model having one or two QTLs and a polygenic component, which models additional familial correlation from other unlinked QTLs. The program has no restr
Model-free linkage analysis methods, based on identity-by-descent allele sharing, are commonly used for complex trait analysis. The Maximum-Likelihood-Binomial (MLB) approach, which is based on the hypothesis that parental alleles are binomially distributed among affected sibs, is particularly popul
## Abstract We report further evidence for our previous suggestion [Garner et al., 2001: Am J Hum Genet 68:1061–1064] of a locus on 5q predisposing to bipolar I disorder (BP‐I) in an extended Costa Rican pedigree. We genotyped additional microsatellite markers in this region and applied a multi‐poi
