Twin Azygotic Test for the Study of Hereditary Qualitative Traits in Twin Populations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 August 2014
Abstract
Following previous formulations of a model of qualitative analysis of twin population data independent of zygosity, a new Bayesian approach has been developed. The present model can be applied to any qualitative genetic trait in twin population data, provided no specific source of variation be introduced by the twin condition, and allows not only estimation of the frequencies of mono- and dizygosity as well as the gene frequencies, but also verification of the trait's mode of inheritance.
