Abstract

The group that formed on the theme of genome‐wide association analyses of quantitative traits (Group 2) in the Genetic Analysis Workshop 16 comprised eight sets of investigators. Three data sets were available: one on autoantibodies related to rheumatoid arthritis provided by the North American Rheumatoid Arthritis Consortium; the second on anthropometric, lipid, and biochemical measures provided by the Framingham Heart Study (FHS); and the third a simulated data set modeled after FHS. The different investigators in the group addressed a large set of statistical challenges and applied a wide spectrum of association methods in analyzing quantitative traits at the genome‐wide level. While some previously reported genes were validated, some novel chromosomal regions provided significant evidence of association in multiple contributions in the group. In this report, we discuss the different strategies explored by the different investigators with the common goal of improving the power to detect association. Genet.

The detection of lower frequency signals will undoubtedly require concerted efforts of at least similar scale. We investigate the sam

## Abstract We propose a new approach for the analysis of copy number variants (CNVs)for genome‐wide association studies in family‐based designs. Our new overall association test combines the between‐family component and the within‐family component of the family‐based data so that the new test stat
