Abstract

The aim of this study is to compare the power of the transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) to that of the identity‐by‐descent (IBD) distribution test. The relative powers of these tests depend both on the underlying genetic model and on the available family data. Families with two affected sibs are always more informative than those with one affected child and one unaffected child. The IBD test is always more powerful in the first situation and, contrary to the TDT, is independent of the presence of gametic disequilibrium. When there is strong linkage disequilibrium, the TDT can be more powerful than the IBD test. In that case, linkage can be detected by the TDT even in families with only one affected child. ©1995 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Several versions of the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) were applied to the two candidate genes ACTHR and Golf for bipolar illness. Analyses were carried out separately for paternal and maternal transmission. Evidence for linkage and association was found for ACTHR for paternal transmission i

## Abstract Identification of genes involved in complex traits by traditional (lod score) linkage analysis is difficult due to many complicating factors. An unfortunate drawback of non‐parametric procedures in general, though, is their low power to detect genetic effects. Recently, Dudoit and Speed

Transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) is a nuclear family-based analysis that can test linkage in the presence of association. It has gained extensive attention in theoretical investigation and in practical application; in both cases, the accuracy and generality of the power computation of the TDT
