We present an overview of pedigree-based variance component linkage methods and discuss their extension to oligogenic inheritance. As an example, oligogenic linkage analyses were performed using the quantitative trait Q4 from the GAW10 simulated data set. A strategy involving sequential oligogenic a

Abstract
Use of the regressive models to account for residual familial correlations in linkage analysis of complex quantitative traits can increase the power to detect linkage. This is especially observed when the effect of the gene to be mapped is small or when the residual correlations are substantial. Β© 1993 WileyβLiss, Inc.

## Abstract We investigate a Bayesian approach to modelling the statistical association between markers at multiple loci and multivariate quantitative traits. In particular, we describe the use of Bayesian Seemingly Unrelated Regressions (SUR) whereby genotypes at the different loci are allowed to
## Abstract Variance component models form a powerful and flexible tool for multipoint linkage analysis of quantitative traits. Estimates of genetic similarity are needed for the variance component model to detect linkage and to locate genes, and two methods are commonly used to calculate multipoin
## Abstract ## Objective To dissect the heterogeneity of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) through linkage analysis of quantitative traits, specifically, IgM rheumatoid factor (IgMβRF) and antiβcyclic citrullinated peptide (antiβCCP) autoantibody titers. ## Methods Subjects, 1,002 RA patients from 491 m
## Abstract Two of the major approaches for linkage analysis with quantitative traits in humans include variance components and HasemanβElston regression. Previously, these were viewed as quite separate methods. We describe a general model, fit by use of generalized estimating equations (GEE), for
