Population stratification is an important potential confounder of genetic case-control association studies. For replication studies, limited availability of samples may lead to imbalanced sampling from heterogeneous populations. Genomic control (GC) can be used to correct w 2 test statistics which a
## Abstract For genomeβwide association studies with familyβbased designs, we propose a Bayesian approach. We show that standard transmission disequilibrium test and familyβbased association test statistics can naturally be implemented in a Bayesian framework, allowing flexible specification of the
## Abstract The ultimate goal of genomeβwide association (GWA) studies is to identify genetic variants contributing effects to complex phenotypes in order to improve our understanding of the biological architecture underlying the trait. One approach to allow us to meet this challenge is to consider
