== Overview ==
This lecture introduces simple linkage tests in the context of affected sibling pairs. One test, originally described by Bishop and Williamson (1990) focuses on identity-by-state sharing. A more refined test, introduced by Risch (1990), models IBD information using a likelihood approach.
