Likelihood-Based Inference for the Genetic Relative Risk Based on Affected-Sibling-Pair Marker Data

Using genetic marker data from affected sibling pairs, we study likelihood-based linkage analysis under quasi-recessive, quasi-dominant, and general single-locus models. We use an epidemiologic parameterization under a model where the marker locus is closely linked to the putative disease susceptibi...
