Regression modeling of allele frequencies and testing Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND/AIMS: Tests for whether observed genotype proportions fit Hardy Weinberg Equilibrium (HWE) are widely used in population genetics analyses, as well as to evaluate quality of genotype data. To date, all methods testing for HWE require subjects to be classified into discrete categories, yet it is becoming clear that the distribution of allele frequencies tends to be smooth over geographic regions....
