Improving estimates of genetic maps: a meta-analysis-based approach.

abstract：:Intended to resolve the problem of constructing a matched population-based control sample, haplotype relative risk techniques frequently suffer from loss of power for late-onset diseases due to unavailability of parental genotypes that are required to form parent-offspring pairs. However, much of this missing informat...
