A new approach to scanning the genome is presented to detect linkage disequilibrium caused specifically by population admixture. In contrast to current linkage genome scanning methods to find causal genes for complex diseases, this new method should be powerful to find genes for multilocus traits, p

## Abstract Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is an important measure of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis and an independent predictor of coronary heart disease. To identify the genetic loci contributing to CAC, we conducted a genome‐wide scan with 374 microsatellite markers by applying admix

## Abstract Estimates of relatedness have several applications such as the identification of relatives or in identifying disease related genes through identity by descent (IBD) mapping. Here we present a new method for identifying IBD tracts among individuals from genome‐wide single nucleotide poly

Linkage disequilibrium (LD) analysis provides a powerful means for screening the genome to map the location of disease genes, such as those for bipolar disorder (BP). As described in this paper, the population of the Central Valley of Costa Rica, which is descended from a small number of founders, s

Recent reports have strongly linked markers near the ␣-7 nicotinic cholinergic receptor subunit gene on human chromosome 15q13-q14 to a sensory gating deficit common in schizophrenics, and have shown positive though non-significant results linking this region to the primary phenotype of schizophreni
