Segregation and linkage analysis of GAW9 Problem 2 quantitative trait 1 (Ql) was performed. Eight segregation models comprising all possible combinations of the environmental factor (EF), quantitative trait 2 (Q2), and quantitative trait 3 (Q3) as covariates were considered. Seven of the eight segre

β¦ Synopsis
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 linkage results based on the most parsimonious two-locus model revealed linkage of Q1 to two areas (MG2 and MG3), while there was less evidence for linkage using one-locus models. Results also suggested that the subphenotypes (Q2 and 43) provided useful information for further analysis of Q1 using two-locus models.

## Abstract Etiologic heterogeneity is a fundamental feature of complex disease etiology; genetic linkage analysis methods to map genes for complex traits that acknowledge the presence of genetic heterogeneity are likely to have greater power to identify subtle changes in complex biologic systems.
Goals of this analysis were to map loci contributing to variation in the quantitative trait, Q1, using the lod-score method on data set 1, and to explore the difference in power to map genes when considering the discrete vs. quantitative phenotype. Segregation analyses, after covariate adjustment, c
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
