Abstract excerpt
Genetic variation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) has been linked to a number of multifactorial diseases, but there is currently no tool available to predict the optimal size for these investigations. We used a simulation-based (Monte Carlo) permutation test to generate power curves for European mtDNA haplogroup studies, to derive a universal equation to enable power calculations for prospective studies across the...
