Endophenotypes such as behavior disorders have been increasingly adopted in genetic studies for complex traits. For efficient gene mapping, it is essential that an endophenotype is associated with the disease of interest and is inheritable or co-segregating within families. In this study, we proposed a strategy to construct endophenotypes to analyze the Genetic Analysis Workshop 14 simulated dataset. Initially,...
