Abstract excerpt
The Haplotype Relative Risk (HRR) was first proposed [Falk et al., Ann Hum Genet 1987] to test for Linkage Disequilibrium (LD) between a marker and a putative disease locus using case-parent trios. Spurious association does not appear in such family-based studies under population admixture. In this paper, we extend the HRR to accommodate incomplete trios via the Expectation-Maximization (EM) algorithm [Dempster...
