For family-based association studies, Horvath et al. proposed an algorithm for the association analysis between haplotypes and arbitrary phenotypes when the phase of the haplotypes is unknown, that is, genotype data is given. Their approach to haplotype analysis maintains the original features of the TDT/FBAT-approach, that is, complete robustness against genetic confounding and misspecification of the phenotype....
