... trait loci with or without epistasis. In addition to a traditional χ 2 test, which compares the difference in allele or haplotype frequencies in the selected sample and population sample, we present multiple regression methods for LD mapping of QTL, and investigate which methods are effective...

...M.P. Mi; M.N. Rashad Dermatoglyphic traits including ridge counts and pattern type counts on fingers were studied in 711 families representing six racial groups in Hawaii. Heritability tesimates were derived from regressions of offspring on father, mother and mid-parent values as well as from full...

... for covariates are restricted to sib pairs, with the exception of the conditional logistic regression model [1] implemented in LODPAL in the S.A.G.E. software [2]. Although this model can be applied to arbitrary pedigrees, at times it can be difficult to maximize the likelihood due to model constraints...

..., the reverse is the case. We introduce two new algorithms for the computation of regressive likelihoods for pedigrees with multivariate traits. The first is an alternative formulation of our existing model, which leads to a simpler form in the binary trait, polygenic and mixed model cases. The second...

... of allelic variability at a candidate gene is presented. The approach involves augmenting linear regression models with additional regressors. Family genotype data are used to define the regressors, and inclusion of the regressors ensures that, even in the presence of population admixture, the estimates...
