Abstract:
|
In this paper, the impact of missing genotypes is investigated for high-resolution combined linkage and association mapping of quantitative trait loci (QTL). We assume that the genotype data are missing completely at random (MCAR). Based on two regression models, F-test statistics are proposed to test association between the QTL and markers. The non-centrality parameter approximations of F-test statistics are derived to make power calculation and comparison, which show that the power of the F-tests is reduced due to the missingness. By simulation study, we show that the two models have reasonable type I error rates for a dataset of moderate sample size. As a practical example, the method is applied to analyze the angiotensin-1 converting enzyme (ACE) data.
