Abstract excerpt
Affected sibling pairs are widely used to identify chromosomal regions harboring genetic loci underlying common disease. We explore the utility of nonparametric sibling pair and family-based association methods to search for disease susceptibility loci in simulated pedigree data for a qualitative disease trait. Logistic regression was used to model gene x gene and gene x environment interactions when significant...
