A Bayesian method to predict disease recurrence risks based on distance information between loci and allowing for uncertain gene location is presented. The methodology allows derivation of the posterior distribution of recurrence risks, from which point estimates and associated precision measures ca

Information on linked markers can greatly improve estimates of recurrence risk for genetic disorders. However, when linkage is incomplete, utilizing the information in genetic counseling requires complex, repetitive calculations to estimate correct risks whenever the parental linkage phase is not pr
## Abstract Recently, there has been interest in family‐based tests of association to identify X‐chromosome genes. However, none of the approaches allow for estimation of genetic risks. We propose a likelihood approach to estimate disease‐related marker relative risks and test genotype association
