Identification of human disease genes can be accomplished by two strategies: functional cloning and positional cloning. Genetic mapping is the localization of genes underlying phenotypes on the basis of correlation with DNA variation, without the need for prior hypotheses about biological function and the simplest form, called linkage analysis. The ability to clone and sequence DNA made it possible to tie genetic linkage maps in model organisms to the underlying DNA sequence. In conclusion particular alleles at neighboring loci tend to be co-inherited. For tightly linked loci, this might lead to associations between alleles known as linkage disequilibrium (LD). Considerable effort and expense have been expended in whole-genome screens aimed at detection of genetic loci contributing to the susceptibility to complex human diseases.
