Abstract excerpt
The haplotype-sharing correlation (HSC) method for association analysis using family data is revisited by introducing a permutation procedure for estimating region-wise significance at each marker on a study segment. In simulation studies, the HSC method has a correct type 1 error rate in both unstructured and structured populations. The HSC signals on disease segments occur in the vicinity of a true disease...
