title: Estimation of the marker gene frequency and linkage disequilibrium from conditional marker data.
abstract: A method is proposed to calculate the maximum likelihood estimate of gene frequency and linkage disequilibrium from disease-codominant marker conditional data. The method is illustrated using data on sickle-cell anemia and Duchenne muscular dystrophy and linked polymorphic restriction endonuclease cleavage sites.
