Detection of parent-of-origin effects for quantitative traits in complete and incomplete nuclear families with multiple children.

Abstract excerpt

For a diallelic genetic marker locus, tests like the parental-asymmetry test (PAT) are simple and powerful for detecting parent-of-origin effects. However, these approaches are applicable only to qualitative traits and thus are currently not suitable for quantitative traits. In this paper, the authors propose a novel class of PAT-type parent-of-origin effects tests for quantitative traits in families with both...
