The following files describe the usage, input and output of our software for Case Control tests for Samples with Related Individuals. This program computes the Case-Control Quasi-Likelihood Score test (CC-QLS test) and the Corrected Case-Control Chi2 test (corr-chi2) developped by Bourgain, Hoffjan, Nicolae, Newman, Steiner, Walker, Reynolds, Ober and McPeek (2003) in Novel Case-Control Test in a Founder Population Identifies P-selectin as an Atopy Susceptibility Locus, American Journal of Human Genetics 73:612-626 These two tests are suitable for case control analysis in any sample with related individuals, including complex pedigrees, provided that their relationship is known. We also provide with a program to compute kinship coefficients and inbreeding coefficients in any general pedigree (the KinInbcoef program), as these coefficients are required in the computation of the CC-QLS test and the corr-chi2 test.
