Abstract excerpt
Here we compare several methods for evaluating associations in the analysis of family data. We applied the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT), and logistic regression, familial aggregation, and segregation analyses for the study of Ankylosing Spondylitis. All methods detected effects from B27 upon susceptibility for Ankylosing Spondylitis. However, the TDT was unable to detect effects from B40 and also could...
