LOD score

LOD score
In genetics, a statistical estimate of whether two loci (the sites of genes) are likely to lie near each other on a chromosome and are therefore likely to be inherited together as a package. LOD stands for logarithm of the odds (to the base 10). A LOD score of three or more is generally taken to indicate that two gene loci are close to each other on the chromosome. (A LOD score of three means the odds are a thousand to one in favor of genetic linkage).

A number used in genetic linkage studies; logarithm (decadic) of the odds in favor of genetic linkage. [logarithm + odds]

lod score 'läd-.skō(ə)r, 'lȯd-, -.skȯ(ə)r n [logarithmic odds score] a statistic that is used to detect genetic linkage and that is equal to the logarithm to base 10 of the ratio of the probability that the data in a linkage experiment would be obtained if the genetic loci under investigation were linked to the probability that the data would be obtained if the loci were not linked

[logarithm of the odds favoring linkage] a score that measures the likelihood of two genes showing a specified recombination value, indicating linkage.
