Abstract excerpt
Quantitative traits often underlie risk for complex diseases. Many studies collect multiple correlated quantitative phenotypes and perform univariate analyses on each of them respectively. However, this strategy may not be powerful and has limitations to detect pleiotropic genes that may underlie correlated quantitative traits. In addition, testing multiple traits individually will exacerbate perplexing problem...
