Transmission/Disequilibrium Tests Incorporating Unaffected Offspring
We propose a new method for family-based tests of association and linkage called transmission/disequilibrium tests incorporating unaffected offspring (TDTU). This new approach, constructed based on transmission/disequilibrium tests for quantitative traits (QTDT), provides a natural extension of the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) to utilize transmission information from heterozygous pare...
متن کاملIncorporating density dependence into the oviposition preference-offspring performance hypothesis.
1. Although theory predicts a positive relationship between oviposition preferences and the developmental performance of offspring, the strength of this relationship may depend not only on breeding site quality, but also on the complex interactions between environmental heterogeneity and density-dependent processes. Environmental heterogeneity may not only alter the strength of density dependen...
متن کاملSingle- and multi-locus association tests incorporating phenotype heterogeneity.
Taking disease subtypes into account when testing for an association between genetic factors and disease risk may help to identify specific aetiologic pathways. One way to assess a genetic association, whilst accounting for heterogeneity, is to use polytomous regression. This approach only allows heterogeneity to be considered in terms of a single categorical variable. In this article, we descr...
متن کاملIncorporating parental information into family-based association tests.
Assumptions regarding the true underlying genetic model, or mode of inheritance, are necessary when quantifying genetic associations with disease phenotypes. Here we propose new methods to ascertain the underlying genetic model from parental data in family-based association studies. Specifically, for parental mating-type data, we propose a novel statistic to test whether the underlying genetic ...
متن کاملFronto-limbic function in unaffected offspring at familial risk for bipolar disorder during an emotional working memory paradigm
Evidence from neuroimaging studies indicate that individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) exhibit altered functioning of fronto-limbic systems implicated in voluntary emotion regulation. Few studies, however, have examined the extent to which unaffected youth at familial risk for BD exhibit such alterations. Using an fMRI emotional working memory paradigm, we investigated the functioning of front...
