7. Allelic Association A Special Type of Linkage 3/52/6 3/2 5/2 3/52/6 3/6 5/6 Both families are ‘linked’ with the marker, but a different allele is involved. This is Linkage but no Association

8. Allelic Association A Special Type of Linkage 3/62/4 3/2 6/2 3/52/6 3/6 5/6 All families are ‘linked’ with the marker Allele 6 is ‘associated’ with disease 4/62/6 6/6 Linkage is just association within families

9. Allelic Association A Special Type of Linkage 3/6 2/4 3/2 6/2 3/5 2/6 3/6 5/6 Allele 6 is ‘associated’ with disease 4/6 2/6 6/6 3/4 5/2 ControlsCases

10. Association study: Uses Pharmacogenetics genotyping clinically relevant samples (toxicity vs efficacy) Insurance purposes contentious, but likely at some point Candidate genes for specific diseases common practice in medicine/genetics Positional cloning the most frequent source of new loci at present Genome-wide association with 2-3 million SNPs, can search whole genome exhaustively
