Linkage Analysis

Linkage Analysis is a statistical method within genetic epidemiology that identifies the co-segregation of genetic markers and traits within families to infer the proximity of disease-associated genes on a chromosome, distinguished from population-based association studies by its reliance on pedigree data and Mendelian inheritance patterns.
