Combining evidence for association from transmission disequilibrium and case-control studies using single-nucleotide polymorphisms.

Abstract excerpt

The aim of the present analysis is to combine evidence for association from the two most commonly used designs in genetic association analysis, the case-control design and the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) design. The cases here are affected offspring from nuclear families and are used in both the case-control and TDT designs. As a result, inference from these designs is not independent. We applied a...
