Identifying genes for polygenic ischemic stroke has been a difficult task and most human studies have employed a candidate gene approach [ 5 ] although at least one genomewide linkage scan in affected sibling pairs is on the way [ 22 ] . We propose to use a combination of a candidate gene association study and genomewide association scan in children with Hb SS at high (230 cases) or low (400 controls) risk for cerebrovascular disease as determined by their TCD velocity.
The first of these, complex trait analysis, is a comparatively new genetic method that makes it possible to map individual loci that underlie polygenic traits [ 22, 23].
For instance, molecular markers enable more detailed dissection of the genetic architecture of species differences, and support the conclusion that they are usually rather highly polygenic, but that much of the variance can be explained by a few major gene substitutions.
They recognized that trait differences between species, including RI, usually have a polygenic basis, and that different coadapted (epistatically interacting) sets of genes underlie incompatibility (e.g.
