In this article, we suggest a framework for identifying quantitative trait loci (QTL) in association studies using structural equation modeling. Two tests to detect QTLs and estimate the proportion of variance they explain are discussed. The first test assumes that there is no population admixture a

## Abstract The additional statistical power of association studies for quantitative traits was derived when ungenotyped relatives with phenotypes are included in the analysis. It was shown that the extra power is a simple function of the coefficient of additive genetic relationship and the phenoty
## Abstract Variable selection is growing in importance with the advent of high throughput genotyping methods requiring analysis of hundreds to thousands of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) and the increased interest in using these genetic studies to better understand common, complex diseases
