TY - JOUR T1 - Linkage Disequilibrium Mapping of Quantitative-Trait Loci by Selective Genotyping A1 - Chen, Zehua LA - English PB - The American Society of Human Genetics YR - 2005 UL - http://buscaintegrada.pucsp.br/vufind/Record/pubmed-1275615 AB - The principles of linkage disequilibrium mapping of dichotomous diseases can be well applied to the mapping of quantitative-trait loci through the method of selective genotyping. In 1999, M. Slatkin considered a truncation selection (TS) approach. We propose in this report an extended TS approach and an extreme-rank-selection (ERS) approach. The properties of these selection approaches are studied analytically. By using a simulation study, we demonstrate that both the extended TS approach and the ERS approach provide remarkable improvements over Slatkin’s original TS approach. KW - Report ER -
