By identifying genetic markers that are linked to the trait, progressively more precise areas on a chromosome are defined until the gene is identified.

The evidence suggests it does: 249 pairs of siblings were more likely to both have diabetes, or both be healthy, if they shared the same set of genetic markers in the region of the IL - 12 gene on chromosome 5.
