Power of 595 independent sib pairs (Koller et al. 2000) and 53 pedigrees composed of 630 individuals (Deng et al. 2002). • A: recombination fraction=0 • B: recombination fraction=0.05.
Sib pairs Required to Achieve 80% Power (at LOD 3.0) Comments:

Limitation of studying risk factors only (1) • NIDDM (Ghosh et al. 2000): chromosomes 20, 11, 2, 10 and 6. • Risk factors (Watanabe et al. 2000): chromosomes 3 (fasting C-peptide/glucose), 10 (acute insulin response), 13 (BMI and 2-h insulin), 17 and 19 (empirical insulin-resistance index).
Limitation of studying risk factors only (2) • Myocardial infarction (Broeckel et al., 2002): Chromosome 14. • Risk factors (Broeckel et al., 2002): Chromosomes 1 and 6 (lipoprotein a), 14,17 (LDL cholesterol concentrations), 1 (HDL cholesterol concentrations) , 9 (triglyceride concentration), 6 (type II diabetes), 6 (systolic hypertention), 1 (diastolic hypertention).
DNA microarray studies: Examples • Identification of 9 novel genes and ESTs induced in murine osteoblasts during their differentiation from mesenchymal progenitor cells(Vaes et al., 2002).
Proteomics • ~30,000 genes, 1.5 million proteins. • Analyzing functions of gene products (large-scale identifying or localizing proteins and studies of protein-protein interactions). • Linking gene expression to cell metabolism and function and to genetic maps.
