Easy calculations of lod scores and genetic risks on small computers

Am J Hum Genet. 1984 Mar;36(2):460-5.

Abstract

A computer program that calculates lod scores and genetic risks for a wide variety of both qualitative and quantitative genetic traits is discussed. An illustration is given of the joint use of a genetic marker, affection status, and quantitative information in counseling situations regarding Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
