Robust genomic control and robust delta centralization tests for case-control association studies.

Abstract excerpt

The population-based case-control design is a powerful approach for detecting susceptibility markers of a complex disease. However, this approach may lead to spurious association when there is population substructure: population stratification (PS) or cryptic relatedness (CR). Two simple approaches to correct for the population substructure are genomic control (GC) and delta centralization (DC). GC uses the...
