Testing linkage disequilibrium in sibships.
We describe the use of multivariate regression for testing allelic association in the presence of linkage, using marker genotype data from sibships. The test is valid, provided that the correct mean structure is modeled but does not require the correlation structure within families to be specified. The test can be implemented using standard statistical software such as the SAS programming langu...
متن کاملEstimating and testing linkage disequilibrium from sib data
We consider estimation and testing of linkage equilibrium from genotypic data on a random sample of sibs, such as monozygotic and dizygotic twins. We compute the maximum likelihood estimator with an EM-algorithm and a likelihood ratio statistic that takes the family structure into account. As we are interested in applying this to twin data we also allow observations on single children, so that ...
متن کاملLinkage disequilibrium testing when linkage phase is unknown.
Linkage disequilibrium, the nonrandom association of alleles from different loci, can provide valuable information on the structure of haplotypes in the human genome and is often the basis for evaluating the association of genomic variation with human traits among unrelated subjects. But, linkage phase of genetic markers measured on unrelated subjects is typically unknown, and so measurement of...
متن کاملLDx: Estimation of Linkage Disequilibrium from High-Throughput Pooled Resequencing Data
High-throughput pooled resequencing offers significant potential for whole genome population sequencing. However, its main drawback is the loss of haplotype information. In order to regain some of this information, we present LDx, a computational tool for estimating linkage disequilibrium (LD) from pooled resequencing data. LDx uses an approximate maximum likelihood approach to estimate LD (r(2...
متن کاملTesting for linkage disequilibrium using SAS/GENETICS and SAS/STAT
Testing for the presence of linkage disequilibrium (LD) and measuring its value is important in statistical genetics. LD deals with the correlation of genetic variation at two or more loci in the genome within a given population. PROC ALLELE in SAS/GENETICS provides a variety of pair-wise LD measures that are related to the well-known Pearson correlation r. Different statistical tests of linkag...
