Simultaneous estimation of haplotype frequencies and quantitative trait parameters: applications to the test of association between phenotype and diplotype configuration.

Abstract excerpt

The analysis of the haplotype-phenotype relationship has become more and more important. We have developed an algorithm, using individual genotypes at linked loci as well as their quantitative phenotypes, to estimate the parameters of the distribution of the phenotypes for subjects with and without a particular haplotype by an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm. We assumed that the phenotype for a diplotype...
