Power and sample size calculations are critical parts of any research design for genetic association. We present a method that utilizes haplotype frequency information and average marker-marker ...

Woolson, Bean, and Rojas (1986, Biometrics 42, 927-932) present a simple approximation of sample size for Cochran's (1954, Biometrics 10, 417-451) test for detecting association between exposure and ...

Abstract This protocol describes how to appropriately design a genetic association case–control study, either focusing on a candidate gene (CG) or region or implementing a genome-wide approach.

In a nationally representative sample of 1.1 million homes, we compared the prevalence of smoking among 33,000 deceased women and 41,000 deceased men (case subjects) with the prevalence of smoking ...
