Using sex-averaged genetic maps in multipoint linkage analysis when identity-by-descent status is incompletely known
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-07)
The ratio of male and female genetic map distances varies dramatically across the human genome. Despite these sex differences in genetic map distances, most multipoint linkage analyses use sex-averaged genetic maps. We ...
Estimating the power of variance component linkage analysis in large pedigrees
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-09)
Variance component linkage analysis is commonly used to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) in general pedigrees. Large pedigrees are especially attractive for these studies because they provide greater power per genotyped ...
Optimal designs for two-stage genome-wide association studies
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2007-11)
Genome-wide association (GWA) studies require genotyping hundreds of thousands of markers on thousands of subjects, and are expensive at current genotyping costs. To conserve resources, many GWA studies are adopting a ...
Genotype-based matching to correct for population stratification in large-scale case-control genetic association studies
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2009-09)
Genome-wide association studies are helping to dissect the etiology of complex diseases. Although case-control association tests are generally more powerful than family-based association tests, population stratification ...
An evaluation of the replicate pool method: quick estimation of genome-wide linkage peak p -values
(Wiley Subscription Services, Inc., A Wiley Company, 2006-05)
The calculation of empirical p -values for genome-wide non-parametric linkage tests continues to present significant computational challenges for many complex disease mapping studies. The gold standard approach is to use ...
