Combined Likelihood Ratio Test for Candidate Gene Studies, Version 1.0
The Combined Likelihood Ratio Test (Combined_LRT) is an
extension of the original likelihood ratio test (LRT) proposed by
Weinberg et al. (1999) to test child genotype risk, maternal genotype effects and
parent-of-origin (POO) effects. This program uses single locus genotype data
from case-parent triads to fit a log-linear model with genotype and imprinting
effects at a candidate gene. The model is fit to bi-allelic data
with possible missing genotype data for the mother or father, and
includes sibling genotypes. Likelihood ratio tests for parameter effects are
obtained from program output.

calculations for likelihood ratio tests for offspring genotype risks,
maternal effects, and parent-of-origin (POO) effects in the presence of
missing parental genotypes when unaffected siblings are available. Genet Epidemiol. 2006 Nov 9
