Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: It is well known that genotyping error adversely affects the power of genetic case-control association studies but there is little research on its effects on type I error, and none that has addressed possible differences in genotype error rates between cases and controls. METHODS: We used simulations to examine the influence of genotyping error on the type I error probability given by case-control...
