Abstract:
We present a new method for testing association when data from both case-parents trios and unrelated controls are available. Our method combines test statistics for case-parents trio and unrelated case-control studies by adjusting for the correlation that arises when the same set of cases is used for both tests. We further consider several analytical approaches for two-stage studies on a large number of markers, including methods based on the joint analysis. The performance of the proposed approaches is examined by analyzing the simulated data provided by the Genetic Analysis Workshop 15.

Study Designs in Epidemiology
Observational studies are those where the researcher does not intervene but rather observes natural variations. They include cross-sectional, cohort, and case-control studies.
