Genetic model misspecification in genetic association studies [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2017 Objective The underlying model of the genetic determinant of a trait is generally not known with certainty a priori. Hence, in genetic association studies, a dominant model might be erroneously modelled as additive, an error investigated previously.

Linear regression in genetic association studies. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 In genomic research phenotype transformations are commonly used as a straightforward way to reach normality of the model outcome. Many researchers still believe it to be necessary for proper inference. Using regression simulations, we show that phenotype

Introduction to Genetic Association Studies [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Protocols, 2012 Genetic association studies are used to find candidate genes or genome regions that contribute to a specific disease by testing for a correlation between disease status and genetic variation. This article provides a broad outline of the design and analysis of such studies, focusing on case–control studies in candidate genes or regions.
