Using ancestry matching to combine family-based and unrelated samples for genome-wide association studies.

Text

For trios, pseudo-controls are automatically matched by ancestry with the corresponding proband, and will be contrasted to the case genotype. Additional information can be garnered by clustering trio probands with unrelated controls. In this way we identify additional controls who are matched by ancestry to the probands (Figure 1). The structure of the data is equivalent to a matched case–control sample and hence can be analyzed via CLR.
