Genetic heterogeneity in Alzheimer's disease: a grade of membership analysis.

abstract：:Lander and Kruglyak [1995] gave guidelines for interpreting linkage results based on estimating how often a particular threshold for significance would be exceeded by chance in a single genome scan. What is unknown is how often two or more genome scans would exceed a particular threshold within the same region. We dev...

To improve the accuracy of existing maps, I propose a meta-analysis-based method that combines independent map estimates into a single estimate of the linkage map. The m...
