A multivariate test of association
UNLABELLED Although genetic association studies often test multiple, related phenotypes, few formal multivariate tests of association are available. We describe a test of association that can be efficiently applied to large population-based designs. AVAILABILITY A C++ implementation can be obtained from the authors.
متن کاملImplicit Association Test
Three experiments demonstrated that an abbreviated Implicit Association Test (Brief IAT) produces reliable and valid measures of implicit attitudes and identities. A fourth experiment examined properties of the Brief IAT when used to measure implicit stereotypes. The Brief IAT’s format instructs subjects to focus on just 3 of the 4 categories used in the IAT, with 2 of these 3 in each of 2 comb...
متن کاملKernel-based association test.
Association mapping (i.e., linkage disequilibrium mapping) is a powerful tool for positional cloning of disease genes. We propose a kernel-based association test (KBAT), which is a composite function of "P-values of single-locus association tests" and "kernel weights related to intermarker distances and/or linkage disequilibria." The KBAT is a general form of some current test statistics. This ...
متن کاملA Multi-Marker Genetic Association Test Based on the Rasch Model Applied to Alzheimer’s Disease
Results from Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) have shown that the genetic basis of complex traits often include many genetic variants with small to moderate effects whose identification remains a challenging problem. In this context multi-marker analysis at the gene and pathway level can complement traditional point-wise approaches that treat the genetic markers individually. In this pape...
متن کاملGenetic association test for multiple traits at gene level.
Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) at the gene level are commonly used to understand biological mechanisms underlying complex diseases. In general, one response or outcome is used to present a disease of interest in such studies. In this study, we consider a multiple traits association test from the gene level. We propose and examine a class of test statistics that summarizes the associati...
