What is the significance of a significant TDT?

Human heredity - 1 Jan 2005

Ewens Warren J, Spielman Richard S

Abstract excerpt

This note summarizes the development of the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT). The initial purpose of the TDT procedure was to test for linkage between a genetic marker and a disease susceptibility locus when an association had been found between the two. An association between disease and marker had sometimes been taken to imply linkage. An association could, however, be due to population stratification...
