Abstract excerpt
Genomic imprinting is a parent-of-origin effect apparent in an appreciable number of human diseases. We have proposed the new imprinting test statistic MOBIT, which is based on MOD score analysis. We were interested in the properties of the MOBIT concerning its distribution under three hypotheses: (1) H0,a: no linkage, no imprinting; (2) H0,b: linkage, no imprinting; (3) H1: linkage and imprinting.
