Integrating binary traits with quantitative phenotypes for association mapping of multivariate phenotypes
Clinical binary end-point traits are often governed by quantitative precursors. Hence it may be a prudent strategy to analyze a clinical end-point trait by considering a multivariate phenotype vector, possibly including both quantitative and qualitative phenotypes. A major statistical challenge lies in integrating the constituent phenotypes into a reduced univariate phenotype for association an...
متن کاملA quantile-based method for association mapping of quantitative phenotypes: an application to rheumatoid arthritis phenotypes
Genetic association of population-based quantitative trait data has traditionally been analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). However, violations of certain statistical assumptions may lead to false-positive association results. In this study, we have explored model-free alternatives to ANOVA using correlations between allele frequencies in the different quantile intervals of the quantita...
متن کاملConstrained multivariate association with longitudinal phenotypes
BACKGROUND The incorporation of longitudinal data into genetic epidemiological studies has the potential to provide valuable information regarding the effect of time on complex disease etiology. Yet, the majority of research focuses on variables collected from a single time point. This aim of this study was to test for main effects on a quantitative trait across time points using a constrained ...
متن کاملThe value of relatives with phenotypes but missing genotypes in association studies for quantitative traits.
The additional statistical power of association studies for quantitative traits was derived when ungenotyped relatives with phenotypes are included in the analysis. It was shown that the extra power is a simple function of the coefficient of additive genetic relationship and the phenotypic correlation coefficient between the genotyped and ungenotyped relatives. For close relatives, such as pair...
