Abstract excerpt
In single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) data analysis, the allelic odds ratio and its confidence interval (CI) are usually used to evaluate the association between disease and alleles at each SNP. The usual formula for calculating the CI of the allelic odds ratio based on the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) may, however, lead to errors beyond the control assured by the nominal confidence level if HWE is not...
