The TDT and C-TDT are limited by the fact that only one triad or discordant sibship is analyzed from a given family; thus these two tests examine only a subset of the data from general pedigrees.
The original form of the PDT incorporates information from every possible triad and discordant sibship in a given family, to yield an average measure of disequilibrium for the entire pedigree.
Often, members of a sibship are separated by large geographical distances.
The third (discordant) sibling is collected for purposes of determining potential nonpaternities in a sibship (more than 4 alleles) and for better estimating the proportion of alleles shared that are identical by state (in the absence of parents).
The pedigree disequilibrium test (PDT) improves upon these two tests by generating a measure of linkage disequilibrium for every discordant sibship and triad in a pedigree [ 17].
