Abstract excerpt
MOTIVATION: When performing genome-wide association studies conventionally the additive genetic model is used to explore whether a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is associated with a quantitative trait. But for variants, which do not follow an intermediate mode of inheritance (MOI), the recessive or the dominant genetic model can have more power to detect associations and furthermore the MOI is important...
