A Comparative Study of Five Association Tests Based on CpG Set for Epigenome-Wide Association Studies
An epigenome-wide association study (EWAS) is a large-scale study of human disease-associated epigenetic variation, specifically variation in DNA methylation. High throughput technologies enable simultaneous epigenetic profiling of DNA methylation at hundreds of thousands of CpGs across the genome. The clustering of correlated DNA methylation at CpGs is reportedly similar to that of linkage-dis...
متن کاملMultiple tests for genetic effects in association studies.
1. Introduction Many common human diseases have a genetic component as measured by familial studies. Metabolic disorders such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases such as high blood pressure, psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease all are thought to have a hereditary component. In some diseases the genetic control is through a sin...
متن کاملOptimal Trend Tests for Genetic Association Studies of Heterogeneous Diseases
The Cochran-Armitage trend test is a standard procedure in genetic association studies. It is a directed test with high power to detect genetic effects that follow the gene-dosage model. In this paper, the author proposes optimal trend tests for genetic association studies of heterogeneous diseases. Monte-Carlo simulations show that the power gain of the optimal trend tests over the conventiona...

متن کاملParametric and nonparametric tests for genetic association studies
Correlation among multiple complex traits has been believed to have a significant impact on genetic association testing. However, such correlation is difficult to account for in both genetic association studies and statistical methodologies. For complex diseases, especially mental illnesses and behavioral disorders, the traits are often measured on an ordinal scale. Although proportional odds l...
