Using sib-pairs and parent-pairs data, a quantitative trait can be tested for the existence of a major locus under the mixed model of MORTON and B ~C L E A N (1974). The basic idea is t j obtain the two conditional likelihoods for sib-pair differences and parent-pair differences provided that it is
Transmission models for high density lipoprotein (HDL) were evaluated in the Berkeley data set through segregation analyses using S.A.G.E. These preliminary analyses indicate that among the models fitted, an additive model with non-Mendelian transmission probabilities provides a good fit for HDL, su
Little is known about the cause of hypospadias, one of the most common urogenital anomalies in males. Familial clustering of hypospadias is well recognized, with heritability estimated to be about 70%under a simple multifactorial threshold model. Neither alternative genetic mechanisms nor shared env
Microcephaly is a heterogeneous disorder with genetic and environmental causes. However, there is little information on what proportion of cases are caused by inherited susceptibility, or the mode of inheritance in familial cases. To address these questions, we have performed classical and complex s
Parkinson disease (PD) is a prevalent movement disorder of unknown cause whose incidence rises with increasing age. Nearly 20% of PD is familial, a small subset of which exhibits autosomal dominant transmission. However, in most families, the inheritance is not clear. To determine the most likely mo
