Abstract excerpt
I compare the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) and affected sib pair (ASP) test under a general algebraic model describing a bi-allelic disease locus. Assuming linkage to a bi-allelic marker, I derive two binomial probabilities, one for parental allele 'transmission' (Pt) which determines the magnitude of the TDT chi 2 statistic (chi 2tdt), and a second for identity-by-descent (ibd) marker allele 'sharing'...
