Using tree-based recursive partitioning methods to group haplotypes for increased power in association studies.

Abstract excerpt

Motivated by the increasing availability of high-density single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers across the genome, various haplotype-based methods have been developed for candidate gene association studies, and even for genome-wide association studies. Although haplotype approaches dramatically reduce the multiple comparisons problem (as compared to single SNP analysis), even the number of existing...
