What's the best statistic for a simple test of genetic association in a case-control study?

Abstract excerpt

Genome-wide genetic association studies typically start with univariate statistical tests of each marker. In principle, this single-SNP scanning is statistically straightforward--the testing is done with standard methods (e.g. chi(2) tests, regression) that have been well studied for decades. However, a number of different tests and testing procedures can be used. In a case-control study, one can use a 1 df...
