Genetc Mappng: Sngle locus dseases: the sk of the dsease s decded by the dffeences on one gene. Conventonal appoaches make-wse tests Common dseases: Complex tats of common dseases ae usually caused by multple genes wth possble nteactons among them. Make-wse tests cannot captue pesumed nteactons among dsease genes. Analyss that takes nto account the possble nteactons among makes should be used. 3
Poblem: Fne mappng: Lage numbe of avalable genetc makes. Complex tats: Jont analyss of ndvdual makes and the possble nteactons. The numbe of makes and possble nteactons geatly exceed the numbe of patents n the study. Soluton: Pe-select a small set of most mpotant makes so that detaled analyss that nvolves nteactons can be caed out usng data wth modeate sze. 4

Data: genetc nfomaton of a andom sample of n patents and the paents. 2n paent-patent tansmsson pas Each pa conssts of two haplotypes one tansmtted and the othe untansmtted () l h t th Fo l pa, let be the haplotype tansmtted to the dseased chld, and h () l u be the untansmtted t = () l = t n #( h h ) u = () l = u n #( h h ) 6
Haplotype tansmsson dsequlbum (HTD) s defned to measue the amount of lnkage/ld nfomaton contaned n the set of makes beng tested: t u 2 ( ), HTD = n n whose expectaton unde the null hypothess s equal to the tace of the Fshe s nfomaton matx paametezed by haplotype elatve sks. 7
Assume m makes SM = { M1, M2,..., Mm} ae beng tested, to evaluate the nfomaton contbuted by the th make M, whch has alleles a and b, consde SM = SM / M( th -deleted make set). Let H = { h, h,..., h } 1 2 H be the set of haplotypes spanned by S M t,and n can be defned as befoe. n u, and the counts 8
t Denote by n t ( a) and n( b), the numbe of tansmssons of the enlaged haplotypes: h a, and h b, espectvely. ae defned fo the non- u Smlaly, two counts n u ( a) and n ( b) tansmssons of the enlaged haplotypes. It s easy to obseve that n = n ( a ) + n ( b ) t t t n = n ( a ) + n ( b ) u u u. 9
HTD fo m makes, M 1 2 S = { M, M,..., M }: HTD( m) = ( n ( a )- n ( a )) + ( n ( b )- n ( b )) h H HTD fo the m-1 makes n m t u 2 t u 2 th -deleted make set S = S / M : M M t u HTD ( m 1) = ( n n ) h 2 t t u u = ( n ( a ) + n ( b ) n ( a )- n ( b )) h = ( n ( a ) n ( a )) + ( n ( b )- n ( b )) h H H H t u 2 t u 2 t u t u + 2 ( n ( a ) n ( a )( n ( b )- n ( b )) h = HTD( m) t u t u + 2 ( n ( a ) n ( a )( n ( b )- n ( b )) h H H 2 10
Thus, the amount of nfomaton bought by make M can be evaluated usng the HTD dffeence the nfomaton dop. HTD ( m 1) = HTD ( m 1) HTD( m) t u t u = 2 ( n( a) n ( a)( n( b)- n ( b)) h H Haplotype Tansmsson Assocaton (HTA) s t u t u HTA ( m) = ( n( a) n ( a)( n( b) - n ( b)) + h Η h h n( ) a b h Η 11

Zeo M only contans no lnkage nfomaton and no make n the data set s assocated wth any dsease susceptblty loc.
