Bias in Estimates of Quantitative-Trait–Locus Effect in Genome Scans: Demonstration of the Phenomenon and a Method-of-Moments Procedure for Reducing Bias

An attractive feature of variance-components methods (including the Haseman-Elston tests) for the detection of quantitative-trait loci (QTL) is that these methods provide estimates of the QTL effect. However, estimates that are obtained by commonly used methods can be biased for several reasons. Per...
