Shown are the results of linkage analysis on single, simulated pedigrees with trichotomous traits. Our method (red) gives a good fit to the theoretical LOD curve (black). When the categorical trait is treated as continuous, the LOD curve estimates (from Merlin and SOLAR) are a much poorer fit (blue).
