We present an overview of pedigree-based variance component linkage methods and discuss their extension to oligogenic inheritance. As an example, oligogenic linkage analyses were performed using the quantitative trait Q4 from the GAW10 simulated data set. A strategy involving sequential oligogenic a

## Abstract Variance component models form a powerful and flexible tool for multipoint linkage analysis of quantitative traits. Estimates of genetic similarity are needed for the variance component model to detect linkage and to locate genes, and two methods are commonly used to calculate multipoin
Complete multipoint analysis as implemented by MAPMAKER/SIBS was used to identify the chromosomal regions with the strongest evidence of linkage. Three different quantitative sib-pair methods were compared. For each trait the maximum lod/Z score was used to implicate a chromosomal region. For trait
