Segregation analysis of quantitative traits. 1999

E Ginsburg, and G Livshits

Tel Aviv University, Israel.

A review of advanced methods of segregation analysis of quantitative traits on human pedigree data is presented. Special attention was paid to formulation of genetic models tested in the analysis, to the possibility of statistical distinguishing between these models, to the power of the used transmission probability tests, and to the possibility of unambiguous interpretation of the analysis results.
