Combining dependent tests for linkage or association across multiple phenotypic traits.

Abstract excerpt

A robust statistical method to detect linkage or association between a genetic marker and a set of distinct phenotypic traits is to combine univariate trait-specific test statistics for a more powerful overall test. This procedure does not need complex modeling assumptions, can easily handle the problem with partially missing trait values, and is applicable to the case with a mixture of qualitative and...
