✦ Synopsis

The significance of a lod score value of 3 is very difficult to assess in linkage studies between a genetic marker and a complex disease. One reason is that multiple tests may have been performed, voluntarily or otherwise. For the same disease, linkage may be tested by different laboratories with several markers under various genetic models and diagnostic schemes for the disease. In such a case, we show that the probability of getting a lod score value of 3 under independent transmission of the disease and the marker may be not negligible.

## Abstract It has recently been shown that testing for association in the presence of linkage using a score test based on a gamma random effects (GRE) model is substantially more powerful than using the Family‐Based Association Test. A reason for the increased power lies in better specification of

Latent class models can be used to assess diagnostic test performance when there is no perfectly accurate gold standard test available for comparison. These models usually assume independent errors between the tests, conditional on the true disease state of the subject. Maximum likelihood estimates

Assessment programs recently designed to follow-up patients with Huntington's disease (HD) in therapeutic trials have not included electrophysiological testing in the list of mandatory examinations. This omission is likely due to the current lack of data establishing a clear correlation between the
