Ordered subset analysis in genetic linkage mapping of complex traits.
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. We investigate the use of trait-related covariates to examine evidence for linkage in the presence of heteroge...

متن کاملGenetic linkage mapping in complex pedigrees
Genetic linkage analysis is the primary method for the identification of loci contributing to complex disease susceptibility. Linkage analysis techniques can be applied to both disease status (discrete traits) and to quantitative trait measures (quantitative trait loci or QTL mapping). Such techniques will be most effective if they can be applied to all of the available data; in human, ecologic...
متن کاملA genome-wide ordered-subset linkage analysis for rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, complex autoimmune inflammatory disorder with poorly known etiology. Approximately 1% of the adult population is afflicted with RA. Linkage analysis of RA can be complicated by the presence of phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity. It is shown that the ordered-subset analysis (OSA) technique reduces heterogeneity, increases statistical power for detecting ...
متن کاملMulti-loci Linkage Disequilibrium Mapping of Complex Traits
In genetics, linkage disequilibrium (LD) is a phenomenon arising from the co-inheritance of alleles at nearby loci on the same chromosome, i.e., the alleles at multiple tightly linked genetic loci pass nonrandomly from generation to generation in a natural population. Capitalizing on this phenomenon, a group of mapping methods, called LD mapping, have been developed recently for genetic associa...
