LOD Score
Definition
An LOD (short for “logarithm of the odds”) score is a statistical estimate of the relative probability that two loci (e.g., a disease-associated gene and another sequence of interest, such as a variant or another gene) are located near each other on a chromosome and are therefore likely to be inherited together.
Narration
LOD Score. We use LOD scores when we're mapping the relationship of genes genetically from one to another.
