This paper examines two approaches for the analysis of quantitative traits: (1) association studies and (2) linkage studies. The trait studied was Q1 from simulated Problem 2 data set in Genetic Analysis Workshop 9. Our purpose was to evaluate associations present in the data, to identify nongenetic
We develop novel statistical tests for transmission disequilibrium testing (tests of linkage in the presence of association) for quantitative traits using parents and offspring. These joint tests utilize information in both the covariance (or more generally, dependency) between genotype and phenotyp
proposed a regression-based TDT method for quantitative traits consisting of regressing the trait on the parental transmission of a marker allele. Zhu and Elston [2000] also developed a TDT method for quantitative traits by defining a linear transformation to condition out founder information. Both
## Abstract The two most popular methods to detect linkage of a quantitative trait to a marker are the HasemanβElston regression method and the variance components likelihoodβratio test. In the literature, these methods are frequently compared and the relative advantages and disadvantages of each m
