Linkage disequilibrium (LD) between markers is more likely to exist in dense genome-wide single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) panels than in microsatellite panels. As part of Genetic Analysis Workshop 14 (GAW14), the extent of LD in the Illumina linkage panel III and the Affymetrix Genechip 10 K map

## Abstract We studied the feasibility of a novel approach to localize breast cancer susceptibility genes, using a low‐density genome‐wide panel of single‐nucleotide polymorphisms and taking advantage of large regions of linkage disequilibrium (LD) flanking Jewish disease genes in high‐risk cases.
## Abstract The aim of this study is to compare the power of the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) to that of the identity‐by‐descent (IBD) distribution test. The relative powers of these tests depend both on the underlying genetic model and on the available family data. Families with two affe
## Abstract A simple approach to design and analysis of genome‐wide linkage scans is described, based on an approximation to the joint distribution of likelihood ratio statistics at a large number of single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) loci. The approximation is readily calculated and makes it fea
