Abstract

A transmission disequilibrium test for quantitative traits which combines association and linkage analyses is currently available in several dedicated software packages. We describe how to implement such models in linear mixed model procedures that are available in widely used statistical packages such as SPSS. We also briefly mention a few extensions of the model that become naturally available once the model is implemented in such procedures.
