R help - Sep 2012 - Calculating Linkage Disequilibrium for Microsatellite Markers?

Dear R helpers,


I am trying to test for linkage disequilibrium (LD) in R between all pairs
of loci.  Importantly, my loci are microsatellites and have up to 30
alleles per locus.  Do you know of any R packages that can either (1)
calculate measures of LD directly or (2) test for the presence of LD within
a statistical framework?  Every package I have run across seems to be only
able to handle biallelic (e.g., SNP) data.  I have
searched unsuccessfully both at CRAN and Bioconductor.

Many thanks for any help you can provide,



Mark Christie

Function LDkl of package gap.
I am also trying to use it.
