Abstract

We present a unified approach to selection and linkage analysis of selected samples, for both quantitative and dichotomous complex traits. It is based on the score test for the variance attributable to the trait locus and applies to general pedigrees. The method is equivalent to regressing excess IBD sharing on a function of the traits. It is shown that when population parameters for the trait are known, such inversion does not entail any loss of information. For dichotomous traits, pairs of pedigree members of different phenotypic nature (e.g., affected sib pairs and discordant sib pairs) can easily be combined as well as populations with different trait prevalences. © 2004 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract The two most popular methods to detect linkage of a quantitative trait to a marker are the Haseman‐Elston regression method and the variance components likelihood‐ratio test. In the literature, these methods are frequently compared and the relative advantages and disadvantages of each m

## Abstract We present a score for testing association in the presence of linkage for binary traits. The score is robust to varying degrees of linkage, and it is valid under any ascertainment scheme based on trait values as well as under population stratification. The score test is derived from a m

## Abstract High selectivity of a biomarker is a basic requirement when it is used for diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of a disease. The artificial gel antibodies, which we synthesise by a molecular imprinting method, have this property not only for proteins, but also for bioparticles, such as v
