Abstract excerpt
Population-based case-control design has become one of the most popular approaches for conducting genome-wide association scans for rare diseases like cancer. In this article, we propose a novel method for improving the power of the widely used single-single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) two-degrees-of-freedom (2 d.f.) association test for case-control studies by exploiting the common assumption of Hardy-Weinberg...
