✦ Synopsis

The purpose of our study was to examine evidence for the role of a second genetic factor in the susceptibility to IDDM, in addition to that located in the HLA region. To do this, we have studied the joint segregation of HLA and another marker conditional on disease status using the IDDM families of GAWS, under a twolocus model, one locus in the HLA region, the other close to the other marker. This marker has been, successively, Gm and the DNA polymorphism of the insulin gene 5' region. The study has been carried out using a segregation analysis method developed to make use of information on the segregation of two markers and the disease in nuclear families. The GAWS data do not provide evidence for the role of a genetic factor in the Gm or insulin region in the etiology of IDDM.

For quantitative traits associated with risk to complex diseases, such as heart disease, single major locus models are likely to be too simplistic. Currently, researchers have begun to use oligogenic models of inheritance, but the resolving power of these models remains to be determined. As the majo

A two-locus segregation and linkage-analysis approach was used to characterize the genetic control of a complex trait (Ql) and to localize the genes that have detectable effects. The results suggested that a two-locus Mendelian model fit the data significantly better than a one-locus model. The link

## Abstract Retinitis pigmentosa is the most common form of hereditary retinal degeneration, with a worldwide prevalence of 1 in 4,000. At least 28 genes and loci have been implicated in nonsyndromic autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa. Here we report two extended and highly consanguineous fam

The Humboldt Family Study was conducted in the town of Humboldt, Saskatchewan, in 1993. Familial correlations and segregation analyses of lung function were carried out in 799 individuals in 214 nuclear families that included 214 fathers, 214 mothers, and 371 children. Forced expiratory volume in 1
