✦ Synopsis

Sample sizes may greatly affect the accuracy of estimates of marker heterozygosities. Therefore, indicating the precision of these estimates is strongly recommended. A computer program HETMAX was written and used to obtain unbiased estimates of heterozygosity, their standard errors and unit support intervals, based on a subset of GAW9 data. The accuracy of the estimates and the associated sample sizes are presented ' 1995 Wiley-Liss, Inc.

## Abstract Endometrial cancer is a disease with serious impact on the human population, but not much is known about genetic factors involved in this complex disease. Female BDII rats are genetically predisposed to spontaneous endometrial carcinoma, and the BDII inbred strain provides an experiment
