Affected sib-pair analysis for disease-predisposing genes uses goodness-of-fit tests. Simulations show the chi-square test maintains significance levels even with small expected haplotype sharing, supporting its use in genetic studies.

Area of Science:

  • Genetics
  • Statistical genetics
  • Bioinformatics

Background:

  • Affected sib-pair (ASP) methods are crucial for identifying disease-predisposing genes.
  • Distinguishing inheritance modes (recessive vs. dominant) relies on goodness-of-fit tests.
  • Small expected counts in "share-zero parental haplotypes" and unknown allele frequencies pose analytical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the performance of chi-square goodness-of-fit tests in ASP analysis.
  • To assess the validity of these tests when dealing with small expected frequencies and estimated parameters.
  • To determine the impact of including non-sib affected kin pairs on test power.

Main Methods:

  • Simulations were conducted to assess the chi-square test's significance level.

  • Analysis focused on identity-by-descent (IBD) values for haplotype sharing (2, 1, and 0).
  • The study considered scenarios with estimated allele frequencies and small "share-zero" categories.

    • Main Results:

    • The chi-square test's real significance level remained close to the nominal 0.05 level.
    • Haplotype-sharing classes did not require lumping, preserving degrees of freedom.
    • Including non-sib kin pairs reduced the power of chi-square goodness-of-fit tests for inheritance modes.

    Conclusions:

    • The chi-square test is robust for ASP analysis, even with small expected haplotype sharing.
    • The test remains valid despite small expected frequencies and estimated parameters in genetic linkage studies.
    • Non-sib kin pairs, while useful for linkage detection, diminish the power of mode-of-inheritance tests.
