Joint multipoint linkage analysis of multivariate qualitative and quantitative traits. II. Alcoholism and event-related potentials.
The availability of robust quantitative biological markers that are correlated with qualitative psychiatric phenotypes can potentially improve the power of linkage methods to detect quantitative-trait loci influencing psychiatric disorders. We apply a variance-component method for joint multipoint linkage analysis of multivariate discrete and continuous traits to the extended pedigree data from...
متن کاملJoint association analysis of bivariate quantitative and qualitative traits
Univariate genome-wide association analysis of quantitative and qualitative traits has been investigated extensively in the literature. In the presence of correlated phenotypes, it is more intuitive to analyze all phenotypes simultaneously. We describe an efficient likelihood-based approach for the joint association analysis of quantitative and qualitative traits in unrelated individuals. We as...
متن کاملA unified sampling approach for multipoint analysis of qualitative and quantitative traits in sib pairs.
Recent advances in molecular biology have enhanced the opportunity to conduct multipoint mapping for complex diseases. Concurrently, one sees a growing interest in the use of quantitative traits in linkage studies. Here, we present a multipoint sib-pair approach to locate the map position (tau) of a trait locus that controls the observed phenotype (qualitative or quantitative), along with a mea...
متن کاملJoint tests of linkage and association for quantitative traits.
In this paper we describe various study designs and analytic techniques for testing the joint hypothesis that a genetic marker is both linked to and associated with a quantitative phenotype. Issues of power and sampling are addressed. The distinction between methods that explicitly examine association and those that infer association by examining the distribution of allelic transmissions from a...
متن کاملCase-deletion diagnostics for maximum likelihood multipoint quantitative trait locus linkage analysis.
OBJECTIVES Case-deletion diagnostic methods are tools that allow identification of influential observations that may affect parameter estimates and model fitting conclusions. The goal of this paper was to develop two case-deletion diagnostics, the exact case deletion (ECD) and the empirical influence function (EIF), for detecting outliers that can affect results of sib-pair maximum likelihood q...
