Due to the probabilistic natureof the penetrance functions used to simulate the data,there is some degree of noise simulated in the data.
MAdCAM-1 is normally expressed in the gut, and its expression is dramatically amplified during inflammation [ 2 3 ] . The functional significance of increased appearance of MAdCAM-1 in IBD is supported by several reports which show that immunoneutralization of either MAdCAM-1 or its ligand, the α4β7 integrin, attenuate inflammation and mucosal damage in animal models of colitis [ 8 9 10 ] . However, since monoclonal antibodies directed against other ECAMs, particularly VCAM-1, can as well reduce disease activity in colitis models [ 11 12 13 14 ] , the literature suggests that MAdCAM-1 is probably necessary, but insufficient for the maximal penetrance of experimental and probably also clinical IBD.
Lod scores were calculated using the Fastlink version 3.0 package of programs [ 27 ] , assuming autosomal dominant inheritance with complete penetrance, and a disease incidence of 1 in 1,000,000 births, as described previously [ 7 8 ] . Because of the absence of specific allele frequencies for each of the ethnic groups represented in the study, we assumed ten marker alleles of equal frequency.
The penetrance and severity of anterior and posterior segment phenotypes was strongly influenced by genetic background (Table 1).
Assuming autosomal dominant inheritance with complete penetrance, two families (AG, E) are not linked and five families are inconsistent with linkage (AJ, AH, T, CT, BT) to the FEOM2 locus (see Additional File 3).
