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

The power to detect major gene effects by rejection of the "no major gene" null hypothesis against a mixed model alternative was determined in random samples of nuclear families over a variety of conditions. Benchmarks have been developed using a varying number of families whose structure includes b
## Abstract What happens to the results of linkage analysis when one assumes that a disease results from a single genetic locus with reduced penetrance when the actual cause is two epistatically interacting loci? We wanted to (1) determine whether assuming the correct mode of inheritance at the lin
