Coefficient of Relationship

i.b.d.: identical by descent

Consider relatives A and B

What is the probability that for any gene the alleles are i.b.d.?

Probability # identical
$c_2$ both
$c_1$ one
$c_0$ neither

$c_2 + c_1 + c_0 = 1$

$a= 1 + \delta a + e$

From Haldan and Jayacar(1962) tables of r (coefficient of relationship) are presented.

f: coefficient of relationship or of inbreeding; the probability that if A has produced a gamete carrying a rare gene, the first tested gamete of B will carry the same gene.

$\phi$ is for sex linked genes in gametes

For diploid genotypes F and $\Phi$ are used
