Popis: The purpose of this analysis was to apply current analytic methods to a simulated data set with a recognized genetic model in order to identify the loci that affect a complex disease, detect evidence for the interaction among two of the loci, and detect the gene-environment interaction. The following analytic tools were used: two multipoint linkage analysis programs, a stratification strategy based on the results of the multipoint analysis, and a case-control analysis using discordant sib pair data. The results were consistent with the underlying genetic model: a disease due to a major gene on chromosome 3 associated with an environmental risk factor, and two minor interacting loci on chromosomes 1 and 5.
