Multilocus linkage analysis in humans: detection of linkage and estimation of recombination.
Multilocus linkage analysis is investigated from the viewpoint of the efficiency of recombination estimates under different strategies for detecting linkage and determining gene order within a linkage group. We consider the appropriateness of assuming no interference with data available in human genetic studies. Examples are given to show the significance of multilocus analysis in humans. A computer program package, LINKAGE, for multilocus linkage analysis is described.
