## Abstract With the increasing availability of genetic data, several SNPs in a candidate gene can be combined into haplotypes to test for association with a quantitative trait. When the number of SNPs increases, the number of haplotypes can become very large and there is a need to group them toget

A statistical model that uses an iterative maximum likelihood estimation procedure is proposed for measuring and testing the association between polymorhphic genetic markers and quantitative traits in human pedigrees, after adjusting for covariates such as age and sex. The model allows the quantitat
In genetic analysis it is often of interest to analyze associations between traits of unknown genetic etiology and genetic markers from pedigree data. Statistical methods that assume independence of pedigree members cannot be used because they disregard the statistical dependencies of members in a p
## Abstract In genetic mapping of complex traits, scored haplotypes are likely to represent only a subset of all causal polymorphisms. At the extreme of this scenario, observed polymorphisms are not themselves functional, and only linked to causal ones via linkage disequilibrium (LD). We will demon
## Abstract Association mapping based on family studies can identify genes that influence complex human traits while providing protection against population stratification. Because no gene is likely to have a very large effect on a complex trait, most family studies have limited power. Among the co
