Popis: | Several extensions of the transmission/disequilibrium test (TDT) to multi-allelic markers now exist. In some of these, however, separate tests must be performed on male and female parents because of the non-independence of parental transmission patterns, reducing power, and complicating interpretation of the test results. Here we show that this non-independence is asymptotically irrelevant when using the allelic TDT of Bickeboller and Clerget-Darpoux [(1995) Genet Epidemiol 12:577-582], allowing the analysis of data from both parents simultaneously. |
