Figure 1.

Multipoint variance-components (left) and MERLIN-REGRESS (right) LOD scores for Old Order Amish (OOA) and Ashkenazi Jewish (ASHK) families. Locations of linkage peaks are indicated by vertical lines. Physical locations of SNP markers (bottom axis, in Mb) were determined using the NCBI dbSNP reference map, build 123. Genetic map positions (top axis, in cM) were obtained through the Rutgers Combined Linkage-Physical Map of the Human Genome. Because the relationship between physical position and genetic maps are non-linear, genetic positions in the figure are approximate.
