Abstract excerpt
The statistical power of five association study test statistics (two haplotype-based tests, two marker-based tests, and the Transmission Disequilibrium Test-Q5) to detect single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP)/phenotype associations in a linkage-disequilibrium-based candidate gene scan employing a number of SNPs is examined. Power is estimated as a function of realistic parameters expected to affect the likelihood...
