Linkage analysis is a method used in gene mapping to determine whether a particular gene is linked to the disease or trait of interest. It involves examining the patterns of inheritance in families to identify regions of the genome that are associated with the disease or trait. By analyzing the genetic markers that are linked to the disease or trait, researchers can identify candidate genes that may be responsible for the condition. Linkage analysis is a powerful tool for identifying genes associated with inherited diseases and has been used to identify many disease-causing genes.
