Overview

Linkage analysis is a genetic technique used to explore the relationships between genetic markers and traits associated with disease. It is an important tool in unravelling the potential genetic basis of a particular disease or condition. Linkage analysis is used to identify DNA segments that are associated with complex genetic disorders such as Alzheimer's, cancer and diabetes, as well as genetic syndromes. It is also used to develop new diagnostic tests and to improve the accuracy of existing ones. Linkage analysis is a powerful tool in modern genetic research and is proving to be a key component in finding cures and treatments of genetic Diseases.
