Comparison of multipoint linkage analyses for quantitative traits in the CEPH data: parametric LOD scores, variance components LOD scores, and Bayes factors
We performed multipoint linkage analyses with multiple programs and models for several gene expression traits in the Centre d'Etude du Polymorphisme Humain families. All analyses provided consistent results for both peak location and shape. Variance-components (VC) analysis gave wider peaks and Bayes factors gave fewer peaks. Among programs from the MORGAN package, lm_multiple performed better ...
متن کاملUsing Markov chain Monte Carlo for multipoint linkage analysis: Improved estimates of lod scores
The calculation of exact likelihoods from pedigree data is limited to datasets containing either a small number of meioses, or a small number of linked genetic loci. In particular, the computation of likelihoods from data collected at multiple loci on large, extended pedigrees is infeasable. We perform multipoint linkage analysis on such datasets by estimating ratios of these otherwise intracta...
متن کاملAllele-sharing models: LOD scores and accurate linkage tests.
Starting with a test statistic for linkage analysis based on allele sharing, we propose an associated one-parameter model. Under general missing-data patterns, this model allows exact calculation of likelihood ratios and LOD scores and has been implemented by a simple modification of existing software. Most important, accurate linkage tests can be performed. Using an example, we show that some ...
متن کاملDirect power comparisons between simple LOD scores and NPL scores for linkage analysis in complex diseases.
Several methods have been proposed for linkage analysis of complex traits with unknown mode of inheritance. These methods include the LOD score maximized over disease models (MMLS) and the "nonparametric" linkage (NPL) statistic. In previous work, we evaluated the increase of type I error when maximizing over two or more genetic models, and we compared the power of MMLS to detect linkage, in a ...
متن کاملLod scores for gene mapping in the presence of marker map uncertainty.
Multipoint lod scores are typically calculated for a grid of locus positions, moving the putative disease locus across a fixed map of genetic markers. Changing the order of a set of markers and/or the distances between the markers can make a substantial difference in the resulting lod score curve and the location and height of its maximum. The typical approach of using the best maximum likeliho...
