A multivariate test of association
نویسندگان
چکیده
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.

A family-based robust multivariate association test using maximum statistic.
For characterizing the genetic mechanisms of complex diseases familial data with multiple correlated quantitative traits are usually collected in genetic studies. To analyze such data, various multivariate tests have been proposed to investigate the association between the underlying disease genes and the multiple traits. Although these multivariate association tests may have better power perfo...

متن کاملJoint analysis of multiple blood pressure phenotypes in GAW19 data by using a multivariate rare-variant association test
INTRODUCTION Large-scale sequencing studies often measure many related phenotypes in addition to the genetic variants. Joint analysis of multiple phenotypes in genetic association studies may increase power to detect disease-associated loci. METHODS We apply a recently developed multivariate rare-variant association test to the Genetic Analysis Workshop 19 data in order to test associations b...
متن کاملAssociation of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Dis-ease and Diabetic Retinopathy in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: a Cross-Sectional Study
Background: Diabetic retinopathy is a common chronic complication of diabetes and one of the leading causes of acquired blindness in the world. There is growing evidence that traditional risk factors do not fully justify the onset and progression of diabetic retinopathy. Therefore, some other risk factors such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease may be involved in the pathophysiology of diabe...
