Abstract
Consanguinity analysis can be performed in populations comprising collections of genetic isolates, and the resulting estimates can be valid and useful in phenotypes caused by numerous recessive genes, such as mental retardation and congenital nerve deafness. Maximum likelihood methods are presented for estimating gene frequency and proportions of homozygous cases of morbid phenotypes in such populations.
