In order to study family-based association in the presence of linkage, we extend a generalized linear mixed model proposed for genetic linkage analysis (Lebrec and van Houwelingen (2007), Human Heredity 64, 5-15) by adding a genotypic effect to the mean. The corresponding score test is a weighted family-based association tests statistic, where the weight depends on the linkage effect and on other genetic and...
