Open AccessTwo-dimensional linkage analyses of rheumatoid arthritis
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a multifactorial disease with complex genetic etiology, about which little is known. Here, we apply a two-stage procedure in which a quick first-stage analysis was used to narrow d...

Open AccessLinkage analysis of adult height with parent-of-origin effects in the Framingham Heart Study
Current linkage analysis methods for quantitative traits do not usually incorporate imprinting effects. Here, we carried out genome-wide linkage analysis for loci influencing adult height in the Framingham Hea...
