A multivariate test of association

Bioinformatics. 2009 Jan 1;25(1):132-3. doi: 10.1093/bioinformatics/btn563. Epub 2008 Nov 19.

Abstract

Although genetic association studies often test multiple, related phenotypes, few formal multivariate tests of association are available. We describe a test of association that can be efficiently applied to large population-based designs.

Availability: A C++ implementation can be obtained from the authors.
