Abstract excerpt
An association study is a popular study design to identify susceptibility genes for common complex diseases. In such a study, the presence of inappropriate samples, such as those derived from close relatives or showing DNA contamination, causes an inflation of type I error or a decrease of power. Here we propose an identity-by-state (IBS)-based detection method of inappropriate samples taking linkage...
