Distributions of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test statistics.
It is well established that test statistics and P-values derived from discrete data, such as genetic markers, are also discrete. In most genetic applications, the null distribution for a discrete test statistic is approximated with a continuous distribution, but this approximation may not be reasonable. In some cases using the continuous approximation for the expected null distribution may caus...
متن کاملExploiting Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium for efficient screening of single SNP associations from case-control studies.
In case-control studies, the assessment of the association between a binary disease outcome and a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is often based on comparing the observed genotype distribution for the cases against that for the controls. In this article, we investigate an alternative analytic strategy in which the observed genotype frequencies of cases are compared against the expected gen...
متن کاملA Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium test for analyzing population genetic surveys with complex sample designs.
Testing for deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a widely recommended practice for population-based genetic association studies. However, current methods for this test assume a simple random sample and may not be appropriate for sample surveys with complex survey designs. In this paper, the authors present a test for Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium that adjusts for the sample weights and co...
متن کاملComplexity control in a mixture model by Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium
Amethod of complexity control in multinomial mixture modeling of multiple-marker genotype data, imposing the Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) between the genotype values, is studied. This is a very natural restriction and known to hold at population level under modest assumptions. The hypothesis under study is that imposing this restriction will prevent overfitting and lead to a better model. T...
متن کاملA century of Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) is the state of the genotypic frequency of two alleles of one autosomal gene locus after one discrete generation of random mating in an indefinitely large population: if the alleles are A and a with frequencies p and q(=1-p), then the equilibrium gene frequencies are simply p and q and the equilibrium genotypic frequencies for AA, Aa and aa are p2, 2pq and q2. I...
