For the analysis of quantitative traits in nuclear families, extreme discordant sib pairs proved to be more powerful than unselected sib pairs. Here, we present a test that makes use of selected pairs and, in addition, restricts the parameters of the identical-by-descent distribution analogously to

We have examined the sample sizes required to detect linkage using the affectedsib-pair (ASP) method for major psychiatric disorders that are characterized by population prevalences of 1-7 % , decreased penetrance, phenocopies, and heterogeneity. In addition, the nature of these illnesses makes larg

Two-stage global search designs for linkage analysis using pairs of affected relatives were shown by Elston et al. [1996] to typically halve the cost of a study compared to a one-stage design. The statistic used for testing linkage in that study was based on the proportion of pairs sharing no marker

## Abstract Previously applied test statistics for affected sib pairs (ASP) have been criticized for not fully exploiting the power of a given sample, because they do not account for incomplete informativity of an affected sib pair. To circumvent this problem, recently a new test had been proposed

## Abstract Neuroticism is a personality trait which reflects individual differences in emotional stability and vulnerability to stress and anxiety. Consistent evidence shows substantial genetic influences on variation in this trait. The present study seeks to identify regions containing susceptibi

Family samples collected for sib-pair linkage studies usually include some sibships with more than two affecteds (multiplex sibships). Several methods have been proposed to take into account these multiplex sibships, and four of them are discussed in this work. Two methods, which are the most widely
