Figure 1 Twelve-generation pedigree used in the linkage and Simwalk2 analyses. Because of computational constraints, the pedigree was broken into four smaller branches, as indicated in the figure. Family members analyzed in stage I are indicated by arrows. Blackened symbols denote affected individuals.

Figure 2 Nonparametric statistics estimated by SimWalk2 (Sobel and Lange 1996). Statistic A is the number of different founder alleles contributing alleles to the affected individuals. Statistic B is the maximum number of alleles among the affected individuals descended from any one founder allele. Statistic C is the “entropy” of the marker alleles among the affected individuals. Statistic D is the extent of allele sharing among all affected pairs, as measured by their IBD kinship coefficient. Statistic E is the “NPL_all” statistic, as implemented in GeneHunter.
