Once linkage is detected to a quantitative trait locus (QTL), the next step towards localizing the gene involved may be to identify those families, or individuals, in whom the putative mutations are segregating. In this paper, we describe a jackknife procedure for identifying individuals (and families) who contribute disproportionately to the linkage. Following initial detection of linkage to a QTL, the strategy involves sequentially removing each individual (or each family) from the analysis and recomputing the lod score associated with the linked region using data from all remaining subjects (or families). This procedure can be used to determine if particular observations have substantial impact on evidence for linkage. Identification of such observations may provide insights for further efforts to localize the QTL.
