Case-control studies of genetic markers: power and sample size approximations for Armitage's test for trend.
Human heredity - 1 Jan 2001

Abstract excerpt
The association of a candidate gene with disease can be efficiently evaluated by a case-control study in which allele frequencies are compared for diseased cases and unaffected controls. However, when the distribution of genotypes in the population deviates from Hardy-Weinberg proportions, the frequency of genotypes--rather than alleles--should be compared by the Armitage test for trend. We present formulas for...
