Joint association analysis of bivariate quantitative and qualitative traits
Univariate genome-wide association analysis of quantitative and qualitative traits has been investigated extensively in the literature. In the presence of correlated phenotypes, it is more intuitive to analyze all phenotypes simultaneously. We describe an efficient likelihood-based approach for the joint association analysis of quantitative and qualitative traits in unrelated individuals. We as...
متن کاملFamily-Based Bivariate Association Tests for Quantitative Traits
The availability of a large number of dense SNPs, high-throughput genotyping and computation methods promotes the application of family-based association tests. While most of the current family-based analyses focus only on individual traits, joint analyses of correlated traits can extract more information and potentially improve the statistical power. However, current TDT-based methods are low-...
متن کاملJoint tests of linkage and association for quantitative traits.
In this paper we describe various study designs and analytic techniques for testing the joint hypothesis that a genetic marker is both linked to and associated with a quantitative phenotype. Issues of power and sampling are addressed. The distinction between methods that explicitly examine association and those that infer association by examining the distribution of allelic transmissions from a...
متن کاملJoint multipoint linkage analysis of multivariate qualitative and quantitative traits. II. Alcoholism and event-related potentials.
The availability of robust quantitative biological markers that are correlated with qualitative psychiatric phenotypes can potentially improve the power of linkage methods to detect quantitative-trait loci influencing psychiatric disorders. We apply a variance-component method for joint multipoint linkage analysis of multivariate discrete and continuous traits to the extended pedigree data from...
متن کاملMarginal Analysis of A Population-Based Genetic Association Study of Quantitative Traits with Incomplete Longitudinal Data
A common study to investigate gene-environment interaction is designed to be longitudinal and population-based. Data arising from longitudinal association studies often contain missing responses. Naive analysis without taking missingness into account may produce invalid inference, especially when the missing data mechanism depends on the response process. To address this issue in the ana...
