A comparison of three affected-sib-pair scoring methods to detect HLA-linked disease susceptibility genes.

چکیده
Two widely used affected-sib-pair scoring procedures (the Green and Woodrow [1977] procedure, and the method of forming all possible affected-sib-pairs) are compared with a new method for their relative efficiency in detecting the presence of an HLA-linked disease susceptibility gene. Their relative performance is investigated by extensive computer simulations over a large number of disease transmission models. On the average, the new procedure appears to outperform the Green and Woodrow method and the "all-possible-pairs" method.

Relative power of linkage and transmission disequilibrium test strategies to detect non-HLA linked coeliac disease susceptibility genes.
BACKGROUND Susceptibility to coeliac disease is genetically determined by possession of specific HLA DQ alleles, acting in concert with one or more non-HLA linked genes. The pattern of familial risk is most parsimonious with a multiplicative model for the interaction between these two classes of genes. Haplotype sharing probabilities across the HLA region in affected sibling pairs suggest that ...
متن کاملComparison of Affected-Sib-Pair Statistics for Multi-Locus Genetic Disease Models in Multi-Marker Analysis
Now, many human genetist are trying to detect agent loci of common diseases, such as hypertension, diabetes, heart disease, multiple sclerosis, arthritis, obesity, and so on. These diseases are caused by multiple genes interacting with each other and with environmental factors to create a gradient of genetic susceptibility to disease. Even when a trait is governed by multiple disease genes, for...

Background: Numerous studies have confirmed the association between type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1) and polymorphisms of HLA genes on chromosome 6p21. Controlled DNA studies in Belgium recently have found a statistically significant association between DM1 and certain HLA class II genes, especially DRB1Lys71+.Methods: 81 Danish families (each with at least 2 members with DM1) and 82 healthy cont...
متن کاملSimultaneous localization of two linked disease susceptibility genes.
For diseases with complex genetic etiology, more than one susceptibility gene may exist in a single chromosomal region. Extending the work of Liang et al. ([2001] Hum. Hered. 51:64-78), we developed a method for simultaneous localization of two susceptibility genes in one region. We derived an expression for expected allele sharing of an affected sib pair (ASP) at each point across a chromosoma...
متن کاملA sex-adjusted and age-adjusted genome screen for nested alcohol dependence diagnoses.
Alcohol dependence is a complex disorder with a substantial genetic contribution to susceptibility. The Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism is a multi-site study whose purpose is to detect, localize, and characterize genes contributing to this susceptibility. Previous linkage analyses of the trait of alcohol dependence in Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism have used...
