The Generalized Relative Pairs IBD Distribution: Its Use in the Detection of Linkage
نویسنده
چکیده
I introduce a novel approach to derive the distribution of disease affectional status given alleles identical by descent (IBD) sharing through ITO method. My approach tremendously simplifies the calculation of the affectional status distribution compared to the conventional method, which requires the parental mating information, and could be applied to disease with both dichotomous trait and quantitative trait locus (QTL). This distribution is shown to be independent of relative relationship and be employed to develop the marker IBD distributions for relative relationship. In addition, three linkage tests: the proportion, the mean test, and the LOD score test are proposed for different relative pairs based on their marker IBD distributions. Among all three tests, the mean test for sib pair requires the least sample size, thus, has the highest power. Finally, I evaluate the significance of different relative relationships by a Monte-Carlo simulation approach.

The use of selective genotyping in the detection of quantitative trait loci (Q-TL) by sib pair analysis
This study covered two main areas in the methodology of Quantitative Trait Locus (QTL) detection with the use of genetic markers: i) the use of sib pair analysis for QTL detection in animal populations of large family size and ii) the use of selective genotyping in sib pair analysis for the reduction of genotyping costs. The regression of the squared phenotypic differences of sib pairs on the p...
متن کاملMultipoint quantitative-trait linkage analysis in general pedigrees.
Multipoint linkage analysis of quantitative-trait loci (QTLs) has previously been restricted to sibships and small pedigrees. In this article, we show how variance-component linkage methods can be used in pedigrees of arbitrary size and complexity, and we develop a general framework for multipoint identity-by-descent (IBD) probability calculations. We extend the sib-pair multipoint mapping appr...

In order to investigation of chromosomal variation in various populations of Aegilops cylindrica from northwest of Iran, the karyotype of each populations was prepared using aceto-iron-hematoxilin staining and different chromosomal characteristics were measured. The results showed that the karyotype of these populations consisted of seven pairs of metacentric, three pairs of submetacentric and ...
متن کاملDetection of genome similarity as an exploratory tool for mapping complex traits.
For one- and two-trait-locus models, we show that the lod score based on affected relative pairs or trios is a monotonically increasing function of the genome similarity measured by the proportion of alleles shared identical by descent (IBD) conditional on observed marker data. These results can be generalized to multitrait-locus models. Thus, we can use conditional probability of genes shared ...
