A chronology of fine-scale gene mapping by linkage disequilibrium

Stat Methods Med Res. 2001 Feb;10(1):57-76. doi: 10.1177/096228020101000104.

Abstract

The past decade produced several proposals for fine-scale gene mapping using linkage disequilibrium data. The suggested methods fall into two main groups, those that rely on pairwise statistics and those that rely on haplotypes. This paper reviews each strategy's development from a chronological perspective.
