Test of association for quantitative traits in general pedigrees: the quantitative pedigree disequilibrium test.

Abstract excerpt

Many statistical methods have been proposed in recent years to test for genetic linkage and association between genetic markers and traits of interest through unrelated nuclear families. However, most of these methods are not valid tests of association in the presence of linkage when some of the nuclear families are related. As a result, related nuclear families in large pedigrees cannot be included in a single...
