Genotyping errors are known to influence the power of both family-based and case-control studies in the genetics of complex disease. Estimating genotyping error rate in a given dataset can be complex, but when family information is available error rates can be inferred from the patterns of Mendelian inheritance between parents and offspring. I introduce a novel likelihood-based method for calcu...

the aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis b virus (hbv) genotypes in isparta, southwest of turkey, as well as the clinical features and transmission route for patients with hbv infections. methods: patients (n = 135) with hbv infection were included in the study. epidemiological and clinical data were obtained. hbv genotypes were determined with a pres2 epitope elisa ...

Most genome-wide association studies to date have been performed in populations of European descent, but there is increasing interest in expanding these studies to other populations. The performance of genotyping chips in Asian populations is not well established. Therefore, we sought to test the performance of widely used fixed-marker, genome-wide association studies chips in the Han Chinese p...
