## Abstract In case‐control studies of unrelated subjects, gene‐based hypothesis tests consider whether any tested feature in a candidate gene—single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), haplotypes, or both—are associated with disease. Standard statistical tests are available that control the false‐pos

## Abstract For a dense set of genetic markers such as single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on high linkage disequilibrium within a small candidate region, a haplotype‐based approach for testing association between a disease phenotype and the set of markers is attractive in reducing the data comp
Genome-wide association studies typically test large numbers of genetic variants in association with trait values. It is well known that linkage disequilibrium (LD) between nearby markers tends to introduce correlation among association tests. Failure to properly adjust for multiple comparisons can
