[The possibility of modern segregation analysis to discriminate monogenic and multifactorial types of the inheritance of traits. The reliability of models and the power of the analysis].
Using computer simulation of family data sets within segregation analysis limits the comparative research of the autosomal major locus model (MLM) and the multifactorial model (MFM) which described the basic types of inheritance of the alternative traits (affected--nonaffected) has been conducted. Robustness of models (statistical aspect) and the power of the analysis (its possibility to discriminate MLM and MFM) are tested. It is shown that permissible level of relative errors for estimated population's frequency is increased, when the values of parameters of models are increased (with decrease of sporadic cases' portion). The power of the analysis is the greatest in the field of greatest robustness of models: the higher the parameters of models, the portion of sporadic cases being low, the stronger the power of the analysis. MFM satisfactorily describes family distribution given by additive MLM. On the contrary, if the MLM corresponds to the multifactorial traits, this model is additive. It is shown that the possibility of the analysis to reject alternative model is decreased when determination of model grows down.
