The classic TDT is a matched chi-square but the same data can be analyzed using a Maximum-Likelihood statistic (ML-TDT) which was shown to be more powerful. We propose an extension of the ML-TDT to quantitative phenotypes, denoted as ML-QTDT. As already proposed for linkage analysis (Alcais and Abel

We developed a method to identify candidate regions in the search for disease susceptibility loci, based on contrasting the level of haplotype diversity of a sample of 'affected' chromosomes with that of an equal number of 'unaffected' chromosomes coming from the same population. Our approach involv
This study examined the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and a T/C polymorphism in the first of two start (ATG) codons in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene. The polymorphism was detected using the restriction enzyme FokI, the F allele indicating absence of the first ATG and the f allel
