LOD score
A statistical estimate of linkage (logarithmic odds ratio) whether two loci are likely to lie near each other on the same chromosome and are therefore likely to be inherited together.
Submitted typing information is subjected to a "two-point" statistical analysis, and rhserver returns a list of markers that link to the subject marker with a LOD score of 6.0 or higher.
