X-linkage and genetic heterogeneity in bipolar-related major affective illness: reanalysis of linkage data.

abstract：:Risch and Zhang recently proposed to use extreme discordant sib pairs for mapping quantitative trait loci. Here, it is shown that the set of genetically possible distributions of the number of marker alleles in such sib-pairs is described by two inequalities. Thus, a likelihood ratio test analogous to Holmans's possib...
