Figure 2

Non-parametric linkage analysis of chromosome intervals showing preliminary evidence of linkage after increasing marker density. The graphs refers to chromosome 10 in the T1D and T1D_MS scan, chromosome 20 in T1D_MS scan and chromosomes 1 and 18 in the MS scan. Reading from the left Y-axis, LOD score results are shown for each chromosome, proceeding from the short-arm telomere to the long arm telomere. The right Y-axis reports the corresponding information content for each point. The T1D, MS and combined T1D_MS sample sets are described in the Materials and Methods section.
