Testing the utility of mod scores and sib-pair analysis to detect presence of disease susceptibility loci.

Abstract excerpt

Linkage analyses and association studies were employed to detect disease susceptibility loci leading to elevated Q1 levels in Problem 2B. Phenotypes were defined to be the dichotomous affection status, the quantitative value for Q1, and Q1 adjusted for covariates. The method of mod-scores (for the dichotomous phenotype) and the Haseman-Elston sib-pair test on the dichotomous and quantitative phenotypes were used...
