Identifying quantitative trait locus by genetic background interactions in association studies.

Abstract excerpt

Association studies are designed to identify main effects of alleles across a potentially wide range of genetic backgrounds. To control for spurious associations, effects of the genetic background itself are often incorporated into the linear model, either in the form of subpopulation effects in the case of structure or in the form of genetic relationship matrices in the case of complex pedigrees. In this context...
