Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) have recently replaced microsatellites as the genetic markers of choice in linkage analysis, primarily because they are more abundant and the genotypes more amenable for automatic calling. One of the most recently launched linkage mapping sets (LMS) is the Applied Biosystems Human LMS 4K, which is a genome-wide linkage set based on the SNPlex technology and the use of clustered SNPs. In this article the authors report on their experience with this set and the associated genotyping software GeneMapper version 4.0, which they have used for linkage analyses in 17 moderate to large families with assumed monogenic disease. For comparison of methods, they also performed a genome-wide linkage analysis in 1 of the 17 families using the Affymetrix GeneChip Human Mapping 10K 2.0 array. The conclusion is that both methods performed technically well, with high call rates and comparable and low rates of Mendelian inconsistencies. However, genotyping is less automated in GeneMapper version 4.0 than in the Affymetrix software and thus more time consuming.
