An index of information content for genotype probabilities derived from segregation analysis.

Abstract:

:A genotype probability index (GPI) is proposed to indicate the information content of genotype probabilities derived from a segregation analysis. Typically, some individuals are genotyped at a marker locus or a quantitative trait locus, and segregation analysis is used to make genotype inferences about ungenotyped relatives. Genotype probabilities for a two-allele autosomal locus are plotted on a triangular surface. The GPI has a value of zero at the point corresponding to Hardy-Weinberg frequencies, and a value of 100% at the vertices of the triangle. Trigonometric functions are used to help calculate intermediate index values. It is proposed that such an index can be useful to help identify which ungenotyped individuals or loci should be genotyped to maximize the benefit/cost of genotyping operations.
