| linkage disequilibrium |
Linkage disequilibrium is often termed "allelic association." When alleles at two distinctive loci occur in gametes more frequently than expected given the known allele frequencies and recombination fraction between the two loci, the alleles are said to be in linkage disequilibrium. Evidence for linkage disequilibrium can be helpful in mapping disease genes since it suggests that the two may be very close to one another. [Source: NHBLI/NCBI Glossary ]

| linkage |
The proximity of two or more markers (eg, genes, RFLP markers) on a chromosome; the closer together the markers are, the lower the probability that they will be separated during DNA repair or replication processes (binary fission in prokaryotes, mitosis or meiosis in eukaryotes), and hence the greater the probability that they will be inherited together.
