Many well-established statistical methods in genetics were developed in a climate of severe constraints on computational power. Recent advances in simulation methodology now bring modern, flexible statistical methods within the reach of scientists having access to a desktop workstation. We illustrat
## Abstract Genotype error can greatly reduce the power of a genetic study. For family data, genotype error can be assessed by examining marker data for non‐Mendelian inconsistencies, closely linked markers for double recombination events, and consistency of duplicate genotypes. For case‐control da
## Abstract Assessing Hardy‐Weinberg equilibrium (HWE) is often employed as an important initial step for genotype data quality checking in genetics studies. Tests for HWE often assume that the genotypes are randomly sampled from the general population. However, in many human genetics studies, subj
