title: Determining approximate estimates of inheritance parameters from sib-pair IBD proportions.
abstract: The use of IBD proportions from a large set of affected sib-pair data to estimate some or all of the main parameters describing the inheritance of a disease susceptibility gene is here considered. We assume there is no recombination present and neglect ascertainment bias, and assume that there are four distinct parental haplotypes present in each family.
