Abstract excerpt
The association between a copy number variant (CNV) and susceptibility to disease has drawn much attention. In this study, a case-control association test for a CNV locus with multiple alleles is proposed for detecting a single CNV allele associated with a disease. In the association test, CNV allele frequencies are estimated for cases and controls separately using an expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm, and...
