Family-based tests of association and linkage that use unaffected sibs, covariates, and interactions.

Abstract excerpt

We extend the methodology for family-based tests of association and linkage to allow for both variation in the phenotypes of subjects and incorporation of covariates into general-score tests of association. We use standard association models for a phenotype and any number of predictors. We then construct a score statistic, using likelihoods for the distribution of phenotype, given genotype.
