AbstractFor a diallelic genetic marker locus, tests like the parental-asymmetry test (PAT) are simple and powerful for detecting parent-of-origin effects. However, these approaches are applicable only to qualitative traits and thus are currently not suitable for quantitative traits. In this paper, the authors propose a novel class of PAT-type parent-of-origin effects tests for quantitative traits in families with both parents and an arbitrary number of children, which is denoted by Q-PAT(c) for some constant c. The authors further develop Q-1-PAT(c) for detection of parent-of-origin effects when information is available on only 1 parent in each family. The authors suggest the Q-C-PAT(c) test for combining families with data on both parental genotypes and families with data on only 1 parental genotype. Simulation studies show that the proposed tests control the empirical type I error rates well under the null hypothesis of no parent-of-origin effects. Power comparison also demonstrates that the proposed methods are more powerful than the existing likelihood ratio test. Although normality is commonly assumed in methods for studying quantitative traits, the tests proposed in this paper do not make any assumption about the distribution of the quantitative trait. © 2011 The Author.
