✦ Synopsis

Here we summarize the contributions to Group 12 of Genetic Analysis Workshop (GAW) 14, held in Noordwijkerhout, The Netherlands. The theme of this group, multivariate methods, covered a broad range of statistical applications. Most of the contributors considered Problem 1 of the GAW. However, one paper considered the bivariate analysis of two binary phenotypes generated by the simulated data in Problem 2. Some contributors focused on statistical issues involved in considering multiple variables, and others on extensions to the variance-components methodology for analysis of quantitative traits. Applications to the Collaborative Study on the Genetics of Alcoholism data identified a single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) on chromosome 4 associated with the ttth1-ttth4 phenotypes, and replicated previous findings of linkage on chromosome 4 for alcohol consumption, using microsatellite and SNP data.

Traditionally, family-based samples have been used for genetic analyses of single-gene traits caused by rare but highly penetrant risk variants. The utility of family-based genetic data for analyzing common complex traits is unclear and contains numerous challenges. To assess the utility as well as

The research presented in group 11 of the Genetic Analysis Workshop 15 (GAW15) falls into two major themes: Model selection approaches for gene mapping (both Bayesian and Frequentist); and other Bayesian methods. These methods either allow relaxation of some of the common assumptions, such as mode o
