## Abstract The transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) based on caseβparents trios is a powerful tool in linkage analysis and association studies. When only one parent is available, the 1βTDT is applicable in the absence of imprinting. In the presence of imprinting, a statistic is proposed, based o
It is well recognized that multiple genes are likely contributing to the susceptibility of most common complex diseases. Studying one gene at a time might reduce our chance to identify disease susceptibility genes with relatively small effect sizes. Therefore, it is crucial to develop statistical me
Consanguineous marriages, usually between first cousins or between uncle and niece, are common in certain societies. The transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) compares the transmission from parents to an affected child of alleles at a marker locus, and differential transmission indicates linkage an
## Abstract We consider the problem of detection of modifier genes that lead to variations in a diseaseβrelated continuous variable (DRCV), such as the age of onset or a measure of disease severity, in a strategy of candidate genes. We propose a novel method, the ordered transmission disequilibrium
