Weighted variance FBAT: a powerful method for including covariates in FBAT analyses.

Genetic epidemiology - 1 May 2007

Lu Ake Tzu-Hui, Cantor Rita M

Abstract excerpt

The family-based association test (FBAT), an extension of transmission/disequilibrium test, capitalizes on linkage disequilibrium to assess the association of genetic markers and traits in nuclear families. It does not permit a formal inclusion of covariates, although an offset under the FBAT -o option allows for an overall trait-intercept adjustment. The PBAT software provides additional features and permits the...
