Abstract excerpt
Case-control genetic association studies in admixed populations are known to be susceptible to genetic confounding due to population stratification. The transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) approach can avoid this problem. However, the TDT is expensive and impractical for late-onset diseases. Case-control study designs, in which, cases and controls are matched by admixture, can be an appealing and a suitable...
