## Abstract Allison ([1997] Am. J. Hum. Genet. 60:676–690) proposed four versions of the transmission‐disequilibrium test (TDT) for quantitative traits when there is __extreme‐threshold sampling__, i.e., the trios having an offspring trait value between a priori defined thresholds are excluded from

## Abstract The transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) for binary traits is a powerful method for detecting linkage between a marker locus and a trait locus in the presence of allelic association. The TDT uses information on the parent‐to‐offspring transmission status of the associated allele at th
## Abstract The transmission disequilibrium test (TDT) has become a family‐based method of reference to search for linkage disequilibrium (LD). Although it was first developed for dichotomous traits, numerous approaches have extended the TDT to quantitative phenotypes that either rely on regression
## Abstract This paper presents a unified framework for transmission‐disequilibrium tests for discrete and continuous traits. A conditional score test is derived that maximizes power to detect small effects for any exponential family distribution, which includes binary and normal distributions, and
## Abstract Certain congenital disorders that are rare in the general population are quite common in individuals with trisomic conditions. For example, complete atrioventricular septal defect occurs in about 20% of individuals with Down syndrome, an approximately 500‐fold increase in risk as compar
The transmission-disequilibrium (TD) test is a powerful method for detecting linkage between marker and disease loci in the presence of linkage disequilibrium. For multiallelic markers, we propose the use of exact tests, which are implemented using both an exact algorithm and Markov chain Monte Carl
