## Abstract Studies to detect genetic association with disease can be family‐based, often using families with multiple affected members, or population based, as in population‐based case‐control studies. If data on both study types are available from the same population, it is useful to combine them

## Abstract Most previous sample size calculations for case‐control studies to detect genetic associations with disease assumed that the disease gene locus is known, whereas, in fact, markers are used. We calculated sample sizes for unmatched case‐control and sibling case‐control studies to detect
## Abstract Genome‐wide association studies, using hundreds of thousands of single‐nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers, have become a standard approach for identifying disease susceptibility genes. The change in the technology poses substantial computational and statistical challenges that have b
