Abstract excerpt
Genome-wide association studies have successfully identified many genetic variants associated with complex traits. However, most existing methods target autosomes rather than X chromosome, and several existing X chromosome-wide association studies (XWAS) at quantitative trait loci (QTL) largely focus on unrelated individuals, with limited attention to general pedigrees or mixture of general pedigrees and...
