Handling linkage disequilibrium in qualitative trait linkage analysis using dense SNPs: a two-step strategy

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>In affected sibling pair linkage analysis, the presence of linkage disequilibrium (LD) has been shown to lead to overestimation of the number of alleles shared identity-by-descent (IBD) among sibling pairs when parents are ungenotype...
