Genetic Analysis Workshop II: study of Problem 2 linkage relationships by different methods

Genet Epidemiol. 1984;1(2):171-4. doi: 10.1002/gepi.1370010209.

Abstract

Segregation and linkage analyse were performed on Problem 2 simulated data. Segregation analysis showed evidence for nearly recessive major susceptibility locus with parameter estimates close to the simulation input values. Linkage between this susceptibility locus (X) and the ten marker loci (A to J) led us to propose the following map: X-G-F-B.
