QTDT

Linkage Disequilibrium Analyses for Quantitative and Discrete Traits

QTDT provides a convenient one-stop interface for family based tests of linkage disequilibrium. The general models described by Abecasis et al. (2000a, b) are supported, and can be used to analyse quantitative or discrete traits in nuclear families, with or without parental genotypes, or extended pedigrees. In addition, QTDT can calculate exact p-values by permutation even when multiple linked polymorphisms are tested. The tests described by Allison (TDTQ5, 1997), Rabinowitz (1997), Monks et al. (1998) and Fulker et al. (1999) are also supported.
