Calculation and use of the Hardy-Weinberg model in association studies.

Abstract excerpt

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) is an important tool for understanding population structure. If certain assumptions are met, genotype and allele frequencies can be estimated from one generation to the next. In genetic association studies, HWE principles have been applied to detect genotyping error and disease susceptibility loci. The focus of this unit is to review the key principles and assumptions of HWE....
