Abstract excerpt
Pinpointing genetic associations in the human genome relies heavily on the accuracy of the underlying genotype data. Null alleles can generate significant inaccuracies in genotype data and can negatively affect the statistical power of a study. Existing quality control (QC) tests, including tests of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, are not sensitive enough to detect the presence of even moderately frequent null...
