## Abstract Genomeโwide association (GWA) study is becoming a powerful tool in deciphering genetic basis of complex human diseases/traits. Currently, the univariate analysis is the most commonly used method to identify genes associated with a certain disease/phenotype under study. A major limitatio

Familial correlation analysis involving two traits may give a better insight into the etiology of multifactorial syndromes than familial analysis focused on single traits. Significant cross-trait correlations between biological relatives but not between spouses suggest that the two traits share comm
## Abstract Two of the major approaches for linkage analysis with quantitative traits in humans include variance components and HasemanโElston regression. Previously, these were viewed as quite separate methods. We describe a general model, fit by use of generalized estimating equations (GEE), for
In this article, we suggest a framework for identifying quantitative trait loci (QTL) in association studies using structural equation modeling. Two tests to detect QTLs and estimate the proportion of variance they explain are discussed. The first test assumes that there is no population admixture a
## Abstract With the increasing availability of genetic data, many studies of quantitative traits focus on hypotheses related to candidate genes, and also geneโenvironment (GรE) and geneโgene (GรG) interactions. In a populationโbased sample, estimates and tests of candidate gene effects can be bias
