Abstract

We used the TDT as the basis for our analysis of data from Problem 1 of GAW9. Among the 360 marker loci on six chromosomes, we searched for any that might show both linkage and allelic association with the disease. We applied the TDT to each allele at every marker locus and found strong evidence for linkage in two regions: one on chromosome 1, another on chromosome 5. Β©1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Since its introduction into the statistical genetics literature, the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) has seen widespread use in analyses of linkage and association due not only to its simplicity but also to its desirable properties relative to other within-family analytic methods.

Estimating the rate of clonal reproduction in natural population of diploid organisms is recognised as being problematic and even the detection of strictly clonal populations is often controversial. One well-acknowledged signature of clonal reproduction is the generation of non-random associations b
