Carrying Out An Association Study of Candidate Gene With Trait Phenotype

• Can use a single polymorphic site within the candidate gene.

  • functional mutation
  • non functional mutation

• Use of haplotypes will increase genotyping costs, but may provide greater specificity and statistical power (SAS or PEST programs).

• A mixed linear model with the allele or genotypes as fixed effects can be used.
