Four methods using identity by state (IBS) data from affected sib pairs are compared for their ability to detect linkage between a diallelic marker and disease. A joint null hypothesis of no linkage and no linkage disequilibrium between the marker and disease must be considered. Two tests have undes

## 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
Model-free sib-pair linkage analysis was used to screen the GAW9 -Problem 1 data set for evidence of linkage of a rare disease to any of 360 highly polymorphic marker loci. Negative regressions nominally significant at the 01 = 0.05 level were obtained for 44 markers; however all of these proved to
