Abstract

Presently existing computer program allow for an autosomal or an X-linked mode of inheritance of loci to be analyzed for genetic linkage. They do not, however, specifically allow for more general sex-linked modes of inheritance. This study proposes methods that permit the carrying out of linkage analyses of loci following a Y-linked or a pseudoautosomal mode of inheritance.
