Linkage analysis on complex pedigrees by simulation
Abstract
A Markovian scheme for simulating the genotypes of individuals in a pedigree subject to constraints imposed by observed phenotypes is used to estimate the logarithm of a likelihood ratio in linkage analysis. The method is illustrated on a fictitious pedigree by comparison with exactly calculated results.
