摘要

SUMMARYTraits related to atopy and asthma were defined in a random cohort of 131 families with three or more children. Correlation analysis provides no evidence of imprinting, maternal effect, or a major role of environment shared by sibs. Commingling analysis favours more than one distribution, the upper one being common for asthma and very common for atopy. Segregation analysis of rank‐transformed variables provides only equivocal evidence of major genes against a polygenic background but suggests that such genes (if present) are individually common and not of large effect. Segregation analysis under a two‐locus model gives consistent results with minimal distributional assumptions. To enter combined segregation analysis we favour a restricted model in which the major locus is additive on the liability scale and the pseudopolygenic modifier locus accounts for at least half the genetic variance. Total IgE and bronchial reactivity are proposed for meta‐analysis of atopy and asthma respectively. Genetic analysis of complex inheritance is discussed and it is shown that allelic association with random loci is not a feasible app
