In genetic association studies, multiple markers are usually employed to cover a genomic region of interest for localizing a trait locus. In this report, we propose a novel multi-marker family-based association test (T LC ) that linearly combines the single-marker test statistics using data-driven w

## Abstract For a dense set of genetic markers such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on high linkage disequilibrium within a small candidate region, a haplotypeβbased approach for testing association between a disease phenotype and the set of markers is attractive in reducing the data comp
## Abstract Metaβanalysis has become a key component of wellβdesigned genetic association studies due to the boost in statistical power achieved by combining results across multiple samples of individuals and the need to validate observed associations in independent studies. Metaβanalyses of geneti
Multiple significance testing involving multiple phenotypes is not uncommon in the context of gene association studies but has remained largely unaddressed. If no adjustment is made for the multiple tests conducted, the type I error probability will exceed the nominal (per test) alpha level. Neverth
Neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism (NSHPT) is considered an autosomalrecessive disorder, attributable in many cases to homozygous inactivating mutations of the Ca ++ -sensing receptor (CASR) gene at 3q13.3-21. Most heterozygotes are clinically asymptomatic but manifest as familial (benign) hypocalc
