Linkage analysis of a model quantitative trait in humans: finger ridge count shows significant multivariate linkage to 5q14.1.

The finger ridge count (a measure of pattern size) is one of the most heritable complex traits studied in humans and has been considered a model human polygenic trait in quantitative genetic analysis. Here, we report the results of the first genome-wide linkage scan for finger ridge count in a sampl...
