Variance components linkage analysis with repeated measurements.
BACKGROUND When subjects are measured multiple times, linkage analysis needs to appropriately model these repeated measures. A number of methods have been proposed to model repeated measures in linkage analysis. Here, we focus on assessing the impact of repeated measures on the power and cost of a linkage study. METHODS We describe three alternative extensions of the variance components appro...
متن کاملLinkage of multilocus components of variance to polymorphic markers.
Haseman & Elston (1972) introduced a sib pair method using classical regression analysis to detect linkage between a polymorphic marker locus and any quantitative trait locus. Most of the diseases mapped to date follow simple Mendelian, single locus transmission. But there are many familial diseases that do not follow simple Mendelian segregation, for example diabetes, several forms of cancer, ...
متن کاملVariance components models for gene-environment interaction in quantitative trait locus linkage analysis.
Gene-environment interaction (G x E) is likely to be a common and important source of variation for complex behavioral traits. Gene-environment interaction, or genetic control of sensitivity to the environment, can be incorporated into variance components twin and sib-pair analyses by partitioning genetic effects into a mean part, which is independent of the environment, and a part that is a li...
متن کاملA note on including phenotypic information from monozygotic twins in variance components QTL linkage analysis.
Williams & Blangero (1999) derived closed form expressions for the power of a univariate variance components test of linkage for a variety of pedigree structures. We have extended their results by investigating the effect of including monozygotic twins in the design on the power to detect linkage. Specifically, we determined the power associated with a pedigree of size three, where individuals ...
