Mixed-effects logistic approach for association following linkage scan for complex disorders.

Abstract excerpt

An association study to identify possible causal single nucleotide polymorphisms following linkage scanning is a popular approach for the genetic dissection of complex disorders. However, in association studies cases and controls are assumed to be independent, i.e., genetically unrelated. Choosing a single affected individual per family is statistically inefficient and leads to a loss of power. On the other hand,...
