Abstract excerpt
AIMS: We introduce a family-based confidence set inference (CSI) method that can be used in preliminary genome-wide association studies to obtain confidence sets of SNPs that contribute a specific percentage to the additive genetic variance of quantitative traits. METHODS: Developed in the framework of generalized linear mixed models, the method utilizes data from outbred families of arbitrary size and structure....
