Spousal Concordance in Academic Achievements and Intelligence and Family-Based Association Studies Identified Novel Loci Associated with Intelligence.
… data. We performed a low density genome-wide association (GWA) analysis with a family-based association test to identify genetic variants that associated with intelligence as measured by WAIS full-score IQ (FSIQ). NTM at 11q25 (rs411280, p=0.000764) and NR3C2 at 4q31.23 (rs3846329, p=0.000675) …

Investigation of the genetic components of maternal infanticide in Sus Scrofa
… pig 60K SNP array from Illumina. Two different tests were used to analyse the data: Family Based Association Test (FBAT) and Parent of Origin (PO) test. The FBAT approach uses pedigree information to test for association in the presence of linkage and the PO approach tests for preferential …

Correlation of Osteoporosis and Obesity
… 405 nuclear families with 1,873 individuals. A family-based association test (FBAT) was performed with both quantitative measures of obesity (fat mass, lean mass and BMI and a dichotomously defined obesity phenotype - OB (OB if BMI >30 kg/m2). Empirical'global P values were derived from 10,000 …
